Well I FINALLY got the fender flairs on and the first coat of paint on my baby. The Silver basecoat. Next is the Kandy Blue goes on. Waiting on a couple of warmer days to start on that.
 
The fenders molded in and the Silver base-coat on.....the tires on it are 265-50's and they look like hot-wheels tire on it.......LOL
OH YES......that is a 928 in the shed behind it ready to go in the shop next
 
The top front view......and yes the hood is a one off. I used to have a buddy that worked at Ecklers years ago, and he did it up for me. But it is not bolted down in that photo. He also did a front air dam that is not in that photo. ......

More photo to come later when I get more done

im going threw the same thing right now,i got mine all glassed in ready for final sanding then paint.They look great on there good job.
 
My next C3 project will definately get FLARED! Looks great keep up the great job!
 
They had a chevy part number on them. I tried to see what that number was, but it has been covered up. I bought them in 1979 at a Charlotte auto fair. And now just putting them on. I have been told they were the ZL1/L88 ones from chevy. But I cant say that is a fact.
And I will say, it is the first major fiberglass work I have ever done, and yes I was scared. But as long as you take your time it will work out fine. By the way.......KITTY HAIR is the BOMB.
 
SLY, that's the look i want for mine. unless i can find a set of greenwood turbo fenders at a reasonable price,..

keep up the good work

TRUST ME........first time, and was scared to death. But it turned out great. And didn't cost me $5,000 to get it done. Just a lot of blood sweat & tears......and a LOT of time.
