A Little Bling

Sorry guys, I've been under the weather and have not been able to work on the car much.  I was able to load up the Corvette and take it to the car wash for a very deserving bath.  It was filthy from all the sanding and buffing.  The good thing is the paint job stood up to the high temperature high pressure wash.   Here it is just after its bath.


Ty introduced me to these when we were at Corvettes of Carlisle.  They are high density styrofoam blocks covered in something like Rhino liner.  They are light weight and they lift the car 12".


While on my creeper I can scoot anywhere under the car.  This will be helpful when I install the side exhaust, spare tire tub, front grill, parking brake, headlights, tail lights, wiring harness, etc.


I decided it was time to give our Corvette a little bling.  I started with the front emblem.


The side badging really looks good.


Just above the right rear tail light is this badge. 


I also installed the weather-stripping at the top of the doors.


Front blinkers were next.


Then the rear view mirror. 


I used my new Baldor buffer to clean up the "cookie sheets".  They're original and look very nice.


The gas cap emblem looks awesome on top of the racing stripe.


I was even able to install the door handles.  These also cleaned up nice on the Baldor.


I installed all the tail lights too.


Earlier today I sent Ty a video of a walk around of the car.  I thought you'd like to see it too.

Either the rear windows or the Dynamat should be next.

Thanks for watching.
