THE 1956 CHEVROLET CORVETTE RESTOMOD TOOK 1ST PLACE IN THE “CONSERVATIVE SPORT PRE-1963” CLASS AT DETROIT AUTORAMA OVER THE PAST WEEKEND. VERY PROUD DAY FOR DYNAMIC CORVETTES AND THE OWNER BRIAN!
KEEP AN EYE OUT FOR AN ARTICLE FROM THE SAGINAW NEWS ABOUT OUR BIG WIN!
A HUGE ORDER OF INTERIOR PARTS HAS COME IN FOR THE 1960 CORVETTE BARN CAR. ED AND JOSH QUICKLY GOT TO WORK REPLACING ALL OF THE GAUGE LENSES, INSTALLING THE HEADLIGHT BUCKETS, NEW ENGINE/BODY WIRING HARNESSES, AND STARTING TO FIT THE NEW DASH PAD.
THE 1978 CORVETTE PACE CAR IS IN ITS FINAL WET SAND STAGE BEFORE APPLYING THE FIRST BASE COAT. AFTER BLOCK SANDING THE FIRST PRIMER COAT, THEY APPLIED A SECOND PRIMER COAT ALONG WITH A BLUE GUIDE COAT. THE GUIDE COAT IS USED SO COREY AND TYLER NOW WHERE THEY HAVE SANDED AND WHERE THEY NEED TO SAND. AFTER WET SANDING THE ENTIRE CAR AND ALL OF THE REMOVED PANELS, THEY WILL ROLL IT BACK INTO THE BOOTH, MASK IT OFF, AND APPLY THE FIRST COAT OF BASE!
THE 1974 CORVETTE FONDLY NICKNAMED “ALICE” IS BACK IN THE BOOTH FOR HER SECOND COAT OF PRIMER. LAST WEEK THE BOYS BLOCK SANDED THE FIRST PRIMER COAT AND GOT IT READY FOR THE SECOND. AFTERWARDS, AL WILL APPLY A GUIDE COAT AND THEY WILL WET SAND THE ENTIRE CARE THEN MOVE ONTO APPLYING THE FIRST BASE COAT!
ED AND JOSH ARE WORKING ON THE 1962 CORVETTE, GETTING IT READY FOR IT’S FIRST COAT OF PRIMER. ED HAS REPLACED THE PINS AND BUSHINGS IN THE DOOR HINGES SO THE DOORS ARE NOT SAGGING WHEN THEY GO TO APPLY FILLER. IT IS VERY IMPORTANT TO HAVE EVERY HINGE IN BRAND NEW CONDITION BEFORE DOING ANY BODY WORK.
