We put the car out in the Maryland sun to bake the gel coat a bit more. More block sanding is needed and then reshoot any areas with gel coat as needed.
This blog is about a 1963 Split Window Corvette, Z06, that I restored at Tony's Corvette Shop in MD from Dec 2017 to Jun 2019. We restored the car to its original condition on the day it was born in June 1963. We know of only 5 Z06 cars with the Black/Red combination. The aim of this blog is to document the progress of restoration and to educate about 1963 Z06's. Questions/if you know of another Black/Red Z06 car, email me at chrismoore@gmail.com or call 415-939-6581.

First sanding of the gel coat completed
Tony and I were reviewing the first sanding of the gel coat. Dale from Autobody Dimensions painted the gel coat and the team there block sanded the car.

Priming the motor with oil
This video shows the oil priming of the oil pump and oil flowing through the mechanical lifters, and through the push rods to the heads.
