    Hey Folks. Just a quick comment. Aaron, it is so good to see your enthusiasm and cheerful demeaner return. From someone who decided to get heathy back in the 1980's, I can attest to how difficult, yet rewarding it can be. Keep up the good work. And Ms. Emily, you are an Angel for for hanging in there. The Corvette in going to be awesome.

      @@flyingsparksgaragedo not wrap it ! It needs to off gas for minimal 90 days prior to wrapping it otherwise when you pull wrap off it will pull all your hard work with it. Wrapping will trap in solvents and it causes delaminating issues. Just paint it from start . Also wraps exposed to daily sun bake only last 2-3 years and if don’t remove by then it becomes impossible to remove . (I made this comment prior to watching , I assumed y’all where doing lots of priming and touch up) . Just paint it!

    Painted or wrapped its all about the prep work. Nice Job!! So happy to see that yall got a decent compressor. It's time for the channel to start paying yall back for all the blood sweat and tears making the videos.

    I love the fact that you guys try to do what you have not done before. As to the radio installation, I have worked around sound for a while. You should check the speaker wires. It is hard to get me to use less than 12 gauge wire for speakers because of the voltage drop across smaller diameter wires and the loss of damping factor due to the voltage drop. Damping Factor is the ability of the amplifier to control the mechanical motion of the speaker. A perfect number of 1000 is not achievable, but a good modern amplifier should get close if you use the right wiring.

    The only way that there is a build up of dirt like that is if it was left there before the paint was applied, or got there in the painting process. Either way, one more example of the caliber of prior work on the poor car.

    You two are doing great work.
    I'm sure that you are done with the car and have probably gotten on with the Power Tour West.
    Here's a tip bit about finishing scratches, runs, and other defects in the paint. Surprisingly it's not much at all about how smooth it looks, it is way more important for it to feel smooth, smooth to the palm of your hand if at all possible.
    If you can feel the defect it will telegraph through the wrap or paint.
    Like with the drip though that you showed that Emily worked on, blocking the area very smooth yet you could still see the drip line. This situation is the same when a metal part is cut on a Laser machine it uses what is called a Lead In and has a Lead Out. These are the Start and Stop points of the cut to make the part. Most operators would work hard at removing those two tiny lines, most times causing a dip in the edge of the part. I worked with the Supervisors and Leads to show them how the Lead In & Lead Out lines could be left and have a good part that has much less time in cleaning the part thereby raising their efficiency. A Supervisor challenged me saying that the lines caused a bad part because it wasn't fully cleaned. We took that same part and ran it through both a Lase Scanner and an HD Optical Scanner. The lines though still visible were barely detectable to the scanners, and according to the tolerances for the part were well within specifications.
    So, feel those area that still appear to have defects. If you can still feel them they do need more work. If it is only a visual appearance that is going to be getting covered then leave it alone.
    I really like that you were using the "sample" wrap to test if an area was good. That's awesome common sense working in its finest right there. Great idea.

I was told on fiberglass if you have cracks to take a drill and drill a small hole at the end zone of the crack to stop it from continuing to keep cracking i did it and never had a crack come back true or false just thought i would let you know that.look's great what your doing be safe and God Bless.

    I'd LOVE to see someone make/install a Corvette Summer body kit on one of these newer Corvettes. Maybe even make it right hand drive like they did in the movie. I think that type of styling needs to come back. I'm just too poor to make it happen.
