Default C3. Vintage Race Car style

Thought a few of you would enjoy seeing my 73 inspired by a vintage DX theme.

Great job especially the use of color. The paint really pops.

The only thing, and I mean only thing you're missing is a bad *** front spoiler.

Something like the classic Owen Corning FIA racer:

It was an ecklers item, looks just like the owens one,
They had it listed for like a year for 75, obo,
I kept offereing 50 ( it was free shipping )
I would never get a reply,

Then one day i see it on sale 30.00 and jump,
The cats still play in the box,

Wish i knew someone trustworthy who wanted to bust a mold off it, not a lot of glass to make these

Nice acquisition! I added a 2" strip of aluminum to the bottom of mine, next will add a lip to make it a splitter.

Your car Looks super! I really like the race car paintjob theme and the 15 Inch classic "Daysie's" with the big tires... Also the louvers in the Hood look really vintage, Love it
