Weekend Update: Thanks so much to Joe, Mark and Rich for the help last night

Having three other people helping = getting lots done last night :yesnod:

We've been sanding, sanding, and yeah... um.... sanding. Got most of the sanding done with the panels on the car as they're more stable on the car. Got everything sanded except the nose last night and removed the rear bumper. Kept on sanding today and started removing other panels.

Rear off the car and most of it sanded





Door handles out and gas door off



Sanded the edges and hard to reach areas off the car



Another pic showing the nice flat yellow paint



Pulled the 1/4 off the car





On FRC/Z06's the front 3 screw holes are actually slotted so the 1/4 can be removed. This is done because the roof prevents access with any tools



That's all for now... sanding is borring and tedious :*****:

 

Looks really good so far,good luck with it.

 

high ******* five to you sir!!!!

 

That will look killer once it's finished. Did you post this on corvetteforum yet?

 

Thanks guys... yeah there's a thread w/ the same title in C5 General.

 

Sand faster and get back to the exciting stuff!

 

what color are you planning on painting the lower valance on the rear bumper? Gloss black would be sick!

 

Looking Awesome. That takes Big BALLZ to cut the roof off a nice Z06
Best of luck - keep us posted

 

The lower valence is allready (or was) gloss black. Strongly considering painting the rear part all black like the C5-R

 

i say go for it!!! i think the entire rear black looks sick man! nice job too!

 

damn that yellow vette looks sick. it looks like a targa top.

 

Holy F*CK!!! Dude, you need to paint the back of the 'Vette like that yellow and red one. I wanna buy a Red Corvette now just so I could do that paint job!!!!! Holy Crap!!!

 

It is It's a Caravaggio targa.
I'm still on the fence... we'll see... my car looked like this before:

 

do the back black it looks f*ckin awesome.

 

+1 The black rear looks badass. Props on the targa conversion looks great so far.

 

Im not a huge fan of the entire rear being black. I think it looks better yellow.

 

Do you know where I can get more pics of that yellow one with c6z wheels? that thing is nuts.


Best of luck with your project, its going awesome so far

 

have you thought about a pearl yellow at all? this is just my opinion, but if you're doing it all, you might as well do something different. nice work either way!
