Hi everyone,
I came across this thread and just wanted to say thanks for all of really nice comments!
The car was absolutely hammered when it first arrived, so I took it as a challenge to see if I could bring the old girl back to life. The owners main concern was to keep the car original as possible, without doing any major paintwork unless it was total necessary.
For those who were wondering, a ton of work goes into a complete vehicle rejuvenation such as this, so it was a little pricey. The way the owner see's it, is that a quality paint job would have cost
at least 4 times what I charged him, so it was well worth it in his eyes, not to mention keeping the car all original. After all expenses, overhead, etc, I really didn't make much $$ at all. I am a Corvette owner/lover myself, so it was more of a challenge than anything. I would actually love to find another one in this shape to do it all over again.
ZRWON- For the record, the engine compartment was detailed by hand and was not saturated with water as stated in the write up. It got a little wet from rinsing down the cowl area, which is what you saw in the pictures. I know it is a big no no on these cars. Thanks for the heads up though!
Impala Balko- If you are in MA, you should definitely stop by sometime. I'd love to check out you car...
USAFPILOT- I do road trips!
