Awesome Bob. It's for sure a garage queen now huh? Don't do the stripes.

Wax on wax off, wax on wax off.

Regards,

Nice job, Andre! Thanks for doing that!!

I used to play with PhotoChop a bit but my latest computer's version isn't user-friendly. I think my favorite effort was a spoof on one of those motivational posters....

I'm extremely happy with it. The pictures don't do the car justice.

I like the double-stripe version...hubba-hubba!
Not sure what it is about stripes that appeals to me...did Speed Racer's Mach5 have stripes? If so, that's where it comes from. I know my love for the C3 body style is influenced by Speed's Mach5.
The Devil looks great, Bob. When did you change it's name from Ray?

More pictures.

Bob,

OMG the car looks beautiful (and of coarse so does Jodi). Man, after all the time and worry it's finally done. And yes I agree that it looks just fine without strips. Although I would have voted for the single wide white strip ala 96 Grand Sport style. But in the end you made the right decision - it looks great.

Remo:cool

Thanks Remo.

Your Paint Looks Awesome

Hi Bob,

Just a quick note to let you know that I just read the posts on your paint job. Congratulations! It looks incredible!

I am sure it must give you even more enjoyment than before cruising in that BLUDVIL.

Compared to most here on CAC, I am relatively new to the Vette world... but love it. Hopefully, I'll be able to meet you and the alot of the other CAC folks in one of those Vette events (I haven't been to one of those yet).

Awesome Paint!

I'm a new vette owner, black 1980, and mine doesn't look anythig like this. Out of curiosity, how much would it cost me to make mine look this great??

 

[Bob Chadwick]

Ralph, Maybe we'll see you at Carlisle this year.

1st Vette, a lot of it depends on whether or not you need any body work, the labor rates where you live, etc. Plan on at least $4,000 -5,000 unless you can do the prep work yourself.

Bob: How much effort was it too clean up the interior and engine compartment after the paint job? I have heard some say it is alot of work to get all the "dust" removed from every crevice, seam and engine/interior part . Which would you recommend--paint exterior first then do a new interior, or vice versa--or does it matter? I have seen people do it both ways.
