As others burry themselves in political banter.... I am giving this big Chevy a fresh new color after hundreds of hours in metal work, body repairs, surfacing and leveling panels. This is 1012 Carlisle blue, GM used it on 2012 corvettes. Having lunch now, spraying the clear after lunch.

Is that your baby hauler, Dave? Caprice, right?
That's a good looking color on the old girl.

That car did haul all my babies yes. It now belongs to my step father, rebuilding the car to his specs. He's a great guy, I really look up to him and its great seeing this old car being totally rebuilt. Lots of memories.

GREAT to see you post work pics again Dave, missed hell out of your threads.

2 are on now, I'll probably stop at 3. Woo! Can't wait to see that baby done! That has a 327 in it correct? It's not in the car right now but it is freshly rebuilt and ready to go back in (327)
