Default New Project. Just wet sanded.
Something the wife and I picked up over the weekend. She's gonna need a little love but I think I can take it under my wing.


This is the shape of the paint as it is.


This is the door I gave some love to make sure I still have what it takes.


Completed pics to follow.

BEAUTIFUL car! That was my exact dream car when they came out back in '92, I was just 6 years old at the time. I wanted a red/black Heritage Z28 with a red interior.

Congrats on the purchase, what engine/trans is in it? Any plans as far as mods, or are you leaving it stock?

You really don't have to kill. I only paid $800 bucks for this one.

You hand sanded it all? How long did that take?
