Stepho's 75 Vette project (w/slide shows!)
Here is what the car looked like when I bought it. (click on pic to view slideshow)
Here is what I did over the weekend (feb 23/24). Lots of stripping sand blasting and removing bolts that are rusted solid. (click on pic to view slideshow) I am going to paint it black and redo the interior in saddle.

Anyway, I can tell you first hand......DON'T SHORTCUT. If you don't have the money, don't mess with it. My friend and I restored a tractor of his. He bought all kinds of stuff for it. He got factory paint (like $50 a quart back then) for the "frame", as we got it together he was running low on money so he bought cheapo paint (like $8 a quart then) for the "hood".....Long story short the "frame" still looks like a million bucks, the "hood" still looks like a$$..... |

Yeah this is just for the doors of the storage compartment. There are three of them, but they are pretty small and flat. The carbon fiber was just a thought, if it is too pricey I wouldn't mind putting carpet on them.

Re: Stepho's 75 Vette project (w/slide shows!)
I got too excited when I read "carbon fiber" and thought you meant the whole door, not just the panel. (black car with carbon fiber doors would be cool though)
Have you priced the aluminum? Another place you could do some price comparison is a trailer shop. They have big sheets of aluminum. And they should have different thickness' too. An 18 wheeler shop I used to work at had a trailer side and they had all kinds of aluminum goodies, a lot of mirror finished stuff too....If nothing else they could tell you where to get a deal. Just an idea. |

I remember that storage compartment now, are you not planning on having anything in back? (like whatever you may pick up running errands) Anything other then carpet would be tough not to scratch. |

Probably the only thing that will be going back there is the T-tops, and I plan to get bags to put those into.

Bags with the crossed flags? That would be cool.

Yeah that would be. I'll have to see if I can find them.
