Nice work :cheers:. Seats look MUCH better in the car than on the floor.

Enjoy it :thumbsup:

Looks great. Have a lot of fun with it. :thumbsup:

[JThomas]

Looks fantastic! As for the wheels, I would try to locate a very nice orignal set of wheels or new ones. :thumbsup:

Very nice work, biguns...so nice to see one put back into pristine condition rather than, one that is so far gone that it must be parted out.
Looking forward to seeing her in BG this year, what with all that work,
i sorta feel tuckered out,
I might even let you buy me a Budweiser...:cheers:

Ya gotta love them black 90's!:thumbsup:

Nice job. =D>

Yes the seats look better in the car vs on the floor!:mrgreen:


I think you should now take her out for a bit of fun on the road. Enjoy!:cheers:

[Huntingbigun]

The golden lining in this crazy economy is these cars are very good buy if you know that the 20 year itch will have to be scratched :mrgreen: I been wanting to get my hands on her for years, one of my customer had it since new and watching it get put to the back of the hanger and neglected was painfully. She runs strong and that soundproofing was a great mod dropped the road noise way down. So hope to see all you guys at BG. I really engoyed driving the car, it is too sweet. Should be ready for another 60,000 miles easy.

Thanks again for the looks :cheers:

New seats look awesome!

My wheels look similar to yours - think I'm going to have them refinished in the fall.

Now about that antenna.....

[DaveK]

Great job. I waited 17 years to get mine, glad you finally got yours!. Glad to see one being 'reborn' instead of just parted out. Hope you have a blast with her! :thumbsup:

Wow, wheels look awesome! What was the damage for the refinishing (need to get mine done...)?

[phrogs]

You next chance for a gathering is at South Georgia Corvette in November they have a get together every year.


BTW who did the work on the wheels?

[Huntingbigun]

November that is a long way off , may have to rattle some of the guys and combine a vette show with one of Big Airboat Shows we have one about every 3 months. We run a pumped up LS3 in our boats guru we use is called Waterthunder just went 8.8 in a chevelle with one of his motors. :dancing SO ALL OF US THAT COULD NOT GO BG COME TO FLA,we will have plenty of oil=D>=D>=D>=D>=D>

The wheels cost about 125.00 each included dismount & mount & balance. The wheels were rough, the right rear was chewed up bad & bent that is the one in the picture. Lenny's Wheels in Lakeland, FL 863 581-9648, man does all kind of wheels and that is all he does :-D
