OTHER PEOPLES CAR I HAVE WORKED ON

There was a 4 or 5 year period when I did restoration work on other peoples cars for a living. During this time I did mostly Corvettes. The following are the cars i worked on, most were just the fiber glass work, and some rust repairs on them. One was the whole project and one was one of Australia's top show cars.

1970 CORVETTE
First car I worked on for money was a very sad 1970 corvette. The fiberglass was damaged all over, including an old repair that defied belief...

 A lot of time (and money) later is all looked a whole lot better...

I got a reputation for Corvette work, and for taking on projects that nobody else wanted to touch. It wasn't long before i started on the next

1970 CORVETTE

This car had come in an absolute state. Needed front cut change and every panel replaced bar the deck, and floor.  Body work done, it went home and is currently painted but not assembled

Another big challenge was what looked like an easier job but these cars are deceptive..

1968 CORVETTE

 Turned out to have a twisted birdcage and needed a whole donor firewall

1959 CORVETTE
A more pleasant car to have worked on was this 59 corvette that was in for a new front clip a few repairs and door gaping.

A nice job came along in the form of an insurance job for a local Crash shop

1972 CORVETTE

The insurance company (who shall remain nameless) was adamant that the front be cut and joined through the wheel arch. NOT the right way to repair this car

It did come out alright and painted up a treat

Along the way came the best project ever

PRODIGY, a cross between a written off C5 and a basket case C2 Corvette

The final result of 7000 man hours?
