Real progress? What???

Removed the bowtie badge from the back of the car:

You can see that the red paint is coming off in some spots. Looks good from a distance, but close up, not so much. So here's the bowtie badge with the Z28 badge I've had sitting around for a while:

Sanded them to get ready for paint:

Then on to the silver paint:

Then finally, the decals:

I'm pretty pleased with how it turned out

295s, 275s, then the 255s that were on the car. I was gonna have them on the car today, but when I was changing out one of my rears, I found that one of my lugs is messed up. I'm going to have to change that out tomorrow before I can finish mounting the new wheels. I was also going to remove the bump-stops, but I discovered that they're both rotted out anyway
