Latest Project Done!
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.

Just a little custom touch. The fender, hood, and gas cap emblems have also been shaved.

 And (probably) never will...or a Jeep.

Was curious about the klnown stats:
Engine
Exhaust
Expected power output (unless he has dyno numbers)
etc.
Love the look with the side pipes.
