The Truck is Home - Finally!

Fresh from the paint booth at Maaco, Albany, NY. The truck was delivered Tuesday afternoon via flatbed truck. The color is the same as when it was painted in April 2007, 2006 Corvette Monterey Red.

Monterey Red is a three-stage paint which which has a red tintcoat under the clearcoat.


The cracked factory seams on the A-pillars were repaired by welding and filling. Hopefully, this time the repair is permanent.

The rear corners of the bed had cracked seams also. Patch panels were welded in. The seam that is visible is actually a false seam that was created to look like the factory seam.

Because the color is a three-stage paint which is nearly impossible to blend it was determined that it would be easiest to wet sand and repaint the truck inside and out.

Fred C. of Rhode Island supplied four original equipment 14" wheels. The crew at Maaco sandblasted and finished them with epoxy paint.
