Sweet. :2thumbs:



OT, but the AutoZone battery in a Corvette seems a little odd to me. Oh, and he needs to get some 20" wheels on that baby. JMO

 

[GoFastTSI]

Well, you're talking about a 58 year old man, so I doubt that 20s will be bought and I'm sure the Autozone battery was a matter of convenience. Thanks.

Great detail!!!



How long did that take you?



EDIT: The second to last picture shows how extremely wet the paint is!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!





That is awesome!!!

Very nice work, especially on yellow. And this car was a father's day gift? NICE!!!

tdekany: Coming from you, that is great praise. All told, it took me about 8 hours and I remember now why I hate doing Corvettes. I need to follow up with a wetsand of the front of the car as the scrub brush marring was deeper than I could really get perfect with the rotary. Drove me nuts.



P1et: Thanks. The detail was the father's day gift, NOT the car. If it were, I would have been begging to be adopted!

Quite honestly, I've never seen yellow look like that. One hell of a job!

 

[GoFastTSI]

Thanks guys. The praise means more than the pay check I received!

[Brian_Brice]

looks like a tremendously thorough detail. the results speak for themselves, that paint is wet and on fire at the same time!

 

[imported_memnuts]
