Thanks. I'll edit my specs when I actually get her home. Don't get me started but to sum things up it wasn't ready tonight. :mad There's is a small spot that needed touch up when they sprayed her. I've pointed it out dozens of times. Sure enough tonight when I got there they were still...

Just a little teaser. It comes home tomorrow night!

Nope you're not being a problem with your comment. The car cured in their booth they just put the panels outside in the sun to show the color because in the inside light it looks flat purple. Yeah I don't like the dirt lot in the back of his place either but all his cars come out great. Plus...

Hey everyone. Well we're making progress. The car is within weeks of being done. Here are some pics that show the color in various light. The bumpers and lenses start to show what it's going to look like when it's done. The contrast really helps visualize what it will look like. Also, check out...

You're the man! :beer Thanks for the pics. Now I just need a set of black seats. :D

Sorry, Also noticed your seatbelts. Are these F-body seatbelts or did your car come with shoulder belts? How does the shoulder belt work without something to route it through up high? Sorry for all the questions but your pic makes me think you've got the answers. ;LOL

Your installation is perfect! That's exactly what I want to do only with Black seats. Did you have to cut the floor at all? Other posts suggest you have to cut the floor on the drivers side. Do the seat sit as low or lower than the originals? I'm hoping to actually get the seats a bit...

Will 94-96 sport seats fit in a 71? My concern is width and seat height.

Thanks! I was really worried about changing the color but now that I see it painted I'm glad I did. The Steel Cities Gray was relatively rare but I don't think I'll see anyone driving down the street with a car the same as mine now. I can't wait to see it after they sand the orange peel...

Awesome idea! PM Sent for a copy for the 71 AIM. Thanks, :beer Whiplash

Thanks. Yeah the wait is starting to get to me now. :W It's been at the paint shop for 2 months now. We had to wait to spray it until it warmed up this week. Now it's cold again. I think they got the random parts sprayed today. Probably 2 weeks to put it back together and then another...

They sprayed the body and doors the last two days. Here are some progress pictures. The Silver base coat was sprayed first followed by the Kandy Blue. The blue is even nicer than the pictures show. It was an overcast day and in the shade the color tends to look more purple.

Wow, that's great news! I'm glad it fixed things for you. Keep an eye on the amp meter. If you see funny things there you might want to go through the wires again. :beer

So was the horn relay what you disconnected? If so do you remember which wire? This is where all the power to the car is distributed from the battery. The positive wire from the battery runs to the starter then a fused wire from the starter runs to the relay. The alternator also connects...

OK SAFETY FIRST. These cars have been known to burn to the ground due to electric fires when there is a major short. The smoke from the gauge was more likely smoke from melting/burning wires. I'd disconnect the batter NOW and then start checking for problems. I may be a bit of an alarmist but...

Can you give a little more of a description of the piece you disconnected originally? The horn relay is right in that area of the car and connects to the alternator, engine harness, battery etc and serves as the hot electrical nerve center of the car. If you disconnected this and didn't get it...

Welcome! There's a bunch of us near by. The weather isn't so good this week but we've been known to get together for lunch and Corvette talk. Drop me a PM and I'll make sure to let you know the next time we get together. Whiplash

ABC, I hope you know I'm just pulling your leg in good fun. As you can tell we love ALL Vettes here. :beer Whiplash

I'm surprised you did so much research on a car you think is junk... :eyerole You have to remember for the moment in time these cars were built they represented the best technology Detroit was rolling of the line. Don't forget the styling genius. The issues with 68 had more to do with...
