slammedi'am Posted March 8, 2016 Author Share Posted March 8, 2016 Thanks everyone!!!!!!Im deff happy with it! As far as the headers/side pipes,those are scratch built..I used solder for the headers and aluminum tubing for the pipe...Took me a few tries before I finally got the pipes the way I wanted them Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dragline Posted March 9, 2016 Share Posted March 9, 2016 As much as I dislike Disco era Vette's and Vette's in general you have won me over with this friggin thing. Color, stance and execution are all waaaay off the charts. Totally stunning. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
slammedi'am Posted March 9, 2016 Author Share Posted March 9, 2016 Thanks everyone! On the paint all I did was primer and then a white base...Shot the PPG color over it and finished it with the 2 part clear from PPG also..Then just wet sanded and polished Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
High octane Posted March 9, 2016 Share Posted March 9, 2016 That 'Vette is a beauty, and great color choice as well. Color reminds me of the new Tamiya Metallic Orange. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
