Default 67 coupe restoration thanks



Just finished the restoration of my 67 Coupe. I guess you would call the color a modern version of Mosport Green and it’s amazing how the color changes from being in the shade and being in the sunlight. Getting the gaps of the doors, hood and headlights was difficult, but the most trying job was replacing the windshield and installing the stainless trim. I’m still doing some final adjustments and probably will be for a while.
My car is a driver and I usually drive it three or four days a week depending on the weather.
I received a lot of help from members of this forum, either through threads or private messages and phone calls.
Thanks everyone.🏁

The reward of a lot of work, I am sure. Now enjoy it while you are looking for your next project.

I second your statements on door gaps, headlight gaps.. trim not too bad... but how about bumpers fitting? not looking forward to that nightmare!
Nice job..

My kind of guy, if you put time and effort into it, drive it, that's what they were made for.

Your car looks great! I love the stance. And in one of the best Corvette colors ever - Mosport Green!

I hear you about the windshield. I just went through the pain of replacing the windshield in my '67. Getting the windshield moldings to fit properly on the passenger side was a real challenge.

Looks nice, I like the black stinger on the mosport green color. Also the American mags. Had those wheels on my 66 chevelle super sport back in 1970.
