Latest Project Done!

[HardcoreZ28]

Here's a few pics of the car I've been working on all winter. It's a 72 Vette that I did a full repaint on. The car was media blasted down to bare fiberglass and then the body was completely worked to remove all the minor flaws associated with fiberglass. The sidepipes have been Jet Hotted and the bumpers and door handles are new chrome. All weatherstripping was replaced as well.

Let me know what you guys think.

[Untamed]

Paul, is that Glen's Vette? What are the numbers for it?

[HardcoreZ28]

Yeah that's Glenn's car. Not sure what numbers you're looking for?

[79T/A]

You do awesome work! Good job!

[Brando56894]

[NJSPEEDER]

beautiful work as usual paul. congrats on knocking out another one.

[HardcoreZ28]

Thanks......next project will be in the shop about a week and a half from now. Motor has to come out of the IROC first for a rebuild and maybe some work on the T-Bird.

[Untamed]

Yeah that's Glenn's car. Not sure what numbers you're looking for?

Was curious about the klnown stats:

Engine
Exhaust
Expected power output (unless he has dyno numbers)
etc.

Love the look with the side pipes.

Nice work!!

Pm sent

Car has a 454 crate engine...original 454 has a bent rod and is in his garage. I believe it's rated at 425 horsepower. Not sure on primary size....maybe 1 7/8 or 2"....sidepipes are 4". Never been run at the track. Trans is a 4 speed M21 but he's looking at a TKO 5 speed possibly.
