Completed Corvette restore (12 pics or so)

Well, as some of you know I have been doing a 1969 Corvette restoration. Today we sprayed it and im pretty happy with how it came out. I still have to put the chrome and top back on which wil make it look even better, but here are some pics of the paint job.

And thats with paint on it, obviously. The pictures came out with a little bit or an Orange tint, but the car is a really bright red. Welp hope you guys enjoy. Now on to my Big block Nova project. :evillol:

beautiful car man.. turned out good.. post a few after final essembly

nice paint job!!!!!

its looking hot, i just don't get why the air filter top comes out of the hood

it doesnt.. its covered by a cowl

unless there something im not seeing?

It was sticking out of the top, but I bought a L-88 3 inch cowl hood. In the painted pics, the breather doesn't stick out of the hood.

Rob, did i ever tell you that you are my hero? lol, now all you need is a 3rd gen!!!!

I have been trying to get a 1st gen camaro for a very long time, but I havent really found anything I can work with. I am doing the big block swap in my Nova and I was contacted today about trading th motor im taking out of the Nova (pretty worked 350) for a 1970 Nova true Super Sport. If that comes through I'll have my next project to work with, but I am realy hunting a 1st gen/early 2nd gen camaro. Sry guys, but im not a HUGE fan of 3rd gens, but I have also never driven one. Thanks for the feedback guys.
