Hi, guys. Well my dad finally got tired of drivng his vette (too hot, too old) so instead of selling it he gave it to me. Now, i'm going to be doing a lot of work on it over the next few years. I plan on installing a new 350 and would like to change the color of the exterior to maybe red. So i'm in for a lot of work and money, which my wife is good with aslong as i fix the A/C. I've picked up a few good manuals over the years but they lack one thing.... pictures. I'm going to try to document the entire procedure and make up a website when i get into it, may even start tonight. In the mean time does anyone have any pictures they can email me or put on a cd and send to me for reference. I'm still in the planning stage, ie. what color block do I want, what color paint, should I do a frame off restoration...

The interior is doe skin, what color goes good with that, anyone have doe skin interior?

Thanks
Mike
1980 Dark Metallic Green w/ doe skin interior and a 305 (not original) installed by Bubba.
 
For an excellent example of a detailed body-off frame restoration website, might I suggest that of one of our moderators, 67HEAVEN, who has documented his efforts on a website titled "Rebuild of a Legend."

Although his car represents an earlier model than yours, there's tons of ideas, loads of pictures, examples of pitfalls to avoid, etc etc etc. Give it a read through!!

The 1980 Vette came with Doe skin interior options with Black, Dark Blue, Dark Brown, Dark Green, Frost Beige, Dark Claret, and Red Exterior colors. If you want to keep it original.
I happen to like it with Yellow.
