Wow! Congrats on making that big step. The rubber looks positively nasty!! :cheers:

[67HEAVEN]

Thanks guys.........seems like it has taken forever to get this far. Maybe I should stop talking so much. :lol: :lol: :lol: Yeah, yeah Chuckles. I hear you laughin'. :jester

Mac, I can't wait to roll it out of the garage so I can take some shots from the rear. 12.5 inches of rubber should look interesting from behind. :D

Patrick, why don't you get some of those 295/50s for the rear of the 'vert. :jester

'67, I got all the rubber I can handle right now. The rear tires on the Z06 are 295/35-18. As a comparison, I looked at the rear tires on a new Lamborghini in the showroom. They were Pirelli's....315/30-18's!! :eek:

Makes me just want to pull the body off my car.

Excellent work.the tires look ENORMUS.

Body is color-sanded but not buffed.
what grit paper u use? May I suggest using 1000, then 2000, anf finish off with 4000. The 4000 grit will leave a dull polish and ehen u use medium grit compound, will give u a mirror, then anything after that swirl removers, usind DuPont's Perfect It system

But George, Chuck S. told me that fiberglass is "factory correct". After all, it is a Corvette! ;)

George and Chuck-

I was a little concerned, too, after so much time. But I buffed it out last week and it came out perfect, if I do say so myself! :smash:
