*My Dream Build has turned into a Forever build, but hey
almost everything I have is now paid for including House
so I'm not regretting it, just wish had not taken so long.

Better late than never! Looking awesome, can't wait to see the outcome once it's back. :devil:

We met about paint in April, I just got
the figure back in July, we are moving
forward as soon as he is ready for me.

*We removed all the factory A/C stuff
this past weekend cause no longer in
the finished plans to use stock setup.

The color will be Gloss Black, and Top
will be Gloss White. (Both are primers
of different types in the photo below)

My goal is to debut her painted at the
Orange Beach Invasion Show Mar/18

Can't wait to see it done! Did you ever decide if you were going to put the lower trim on it? If so, I would do it before the paint.

Re: Project: "Square Corvette"
 
No trim, tons of holes deleted, dropped her off 10/07/17,
hopefully back sometime next spring, getting excited. :)

Figured I'd throw out an update, NO she's not done. :whine:

Things happen, sometimes nothing you can't control. :help:

I have been assured that "It will be worth the wait" :ito:

Meanwhile, she's getting a New Penthouse to live in. :ack:

She's fine, doing minor maintenance on her here and
there. It's a budget beater so not spending lots of $$
on it. Since CTC18, only been to work a few times, a
local cruise in, and a local cars & coffee. Almost took
it to SETN last month, but rode up with a friend that
day in his. Was great seeing some of the LCTC guys.

Don't get excited, nothing new to report. :dohh:

Just adding a few things here and there to
the pile for updates when she comes home.

700R will be removed/retired permanently
(Attached pic should give you a small hint)

Change over from Power to Manual Brakes
(Willwood Master replacing current setup)

Change over from 20/22's to 18x11 (F/R)
(Attached pic is small hint for test fitting)

Updating entire Engine Compartment Area
(Shipped Mild Slosh Tubz to Painter already)

Still have a few parts to buy, some cannot
be purchased till it's home. (Wheels/Tires)
but have a cool tool now for making sure I
order the right offset/width for new ones.
