Nice!

I know your excited but this is a tease and the project car gods demand you post a follow up that has pics of the whole frame and a finished product after that

Ahahaha yes this is pivotal for me! Never thought I’d repaint the bay! But now… this means I can start installing the new parts and not look back!!

Just be sure when you’re frustrated to take a second and look back to appreciate your progress. It’s a journey and sometimes can take a while but movement like this really puts life back into the project

Man… fuck… you don’t know how much I needed to read this. I really appreciate this response bro. Life has been a mess recently but I’m trying to appreciate the small wins! Thank you for the inspiring words bro!

Happy to hear it bro. Love to see the progress, inspired me even.

Look back at my post history (way back like 2012) I’ve had a project 1980 C3 corvette I’ve been working on with my dad since I was a senior in high school. We still have it, and are still working on it. In the midst of a full interior swap down to cutting out and welding in new floor pans.

It can take a long time. Lots of life got in the way. Stick with the goal and never lose sight

Yea I can definitely feel the life getting in the way part… relationships, family issues, health issues, unexpected changes in employment… last few years, especially the recent months… have been a roller coaster! But this uber driver once said to me… you’re still on the right side of the ground… so as long as I’m alive ima keep going!

I took a look at some of your old pics! Found it funny that the tachometer was stuck at 5500 ahaha!

That’s the journey. Just gotta keep on keeping on.

Thanks for taking a look. The tach being stuck was hilarious, it’s since been fixed. In the process of fixing the dash I was still daily driving the corvette. Didn’t remember the lights for the Speedo were in the dash so when I first drove it at night during that resto the Speedo and tach were resting on top of the steering column and I had a flashlight between my legs to be able to see my speed. On every turn I’d have to recenter it on the steering column bc it would slide 🤣
