Thank god you figured out your picture problem, a car like that needs to be seen. Nice pick on the color for the hash marks, it's an excellent contrast.

Are those stripes from Ecklers? I'm thinking of doing mine with red.

Thanks Gang!! Here's the Skinny on the car. I will put some new pic's up later tonight. And yes, the hash marks are the ones from Ecklers. May want to do again with real custom vinyl graphic. ( so it fits the C3 alittle better.)

Looks great, Jake! Brings back fond memories of my Shark days.

And it just goes to prove my point... hashmarks make any Corvette look cooler... although yours hardly needed any assistance in that department! Well done!
