94 #256 New Paint - ZR-1 Net Registry Forums

secondchance · 04-06-2010

In last 12 months (especially during 8 months I was out of work) with a lot of help from WAZOO guys I have pretty much sorted out all mechanical and suspension woes - injectors, shocks, sway bar noise, front upper "A" arm, etc...
Only thing remaining are rear bearings and "C" beam plate install to be followed by new clutch (may be since I found out when Jim's clutch was removed it was still good dispite high milage).

A couple of weeks ago while backing into tight downtown parking spot in a garage I scraped my passenger side rear quarter (perhaps an intentional slip?). So I embelished the truth and told my wife partial repair won't work and only option was a total repaint or a new car - guess what her preference was.

Well, I pulled the trigger and dropped off the car at the body shop in Bel Air, MD yesterday - bye, bye 16 years of scratches and GM acid rain etchable paint! Two weeks and I will finally have a car I had been dreaming of since 2000.

Ofcourse, there are exhaust headers, refinishing wheels, new tires, P&P... Does it ever end???
