HI there
Had the lads over at Autobrite Direct UK give my 1978 Corvette the full works with paint correction and a 5yr ceramic coating, the results are nothing short of incredible. Over the moon!![smile](/inc/images/smile.gif)

You must have been buzzing when you first saw it after the detailing.
Almost as exciting as the day you first bought it .

It been my first classic I was somewhat shocked at how at first I thought it was some weird manual automatic, as I did not realise the number 3 was equivalent to drive, so I was going 1, 2 and upto 3 on the automatic gearbox, LOL.
Then the ride quality, it was shocking, I later discovered my car had the Gymkhana suspension pack, so anti-roll bars, uprated springs and the factory AC Delco shockers, just made the car rattle and myself too.
However I fitted a set of Bilstein dampers and changed out the old iron leaf spring for a composite version, this transformed ride quality wih no impact on the handling which is quite decent for a car of this age.
In short it drives amazing, looks amazing and sounds amazing, I love it.

One last video of the exhaust:
A joy to drive, I do about 1000 miles per year in it.
