Believe me, I'm not posting this thread because of lack of humility....

I'm just too damn proud of this baby and of all the efforts i've put into this car through the years.

Thanks also to this forum support and informations.

Your car deserves all the credit it's getting AND more. I think it for sure needs to be featured in some of your local magazines, and probably even a few on this side of the water.

I really like the JDM inspired look......

What a dumbass. I'm registered on VWVortex because my DD is a Jetta, but I typically avoid that place like the plague because so many of the 20 year olds think they've created the idea of the custom car.

Panic, your car is the shizz, but why no good full shots yet?

It's remarkable because it's a really different but well thought out look.

Default Fantastic Vette!!

That car is a statement of muscle and style. I am a gun guy as well as a lover of Vette's. They have both interested me about the same length of time. Wow, has it been 31 years since I got my Driver's License? And 35 since getting my first gun. Cars and guns have much in common. But, while you will see many Matte Black guns. You sure don't see many Matte vette's. Where Laquer shiney paint is abundant, it is a bold, and brash move. Good for you!
Now if I may....can you tell me about your headlight covers? My newly acquired '73 had the motor removed, and the headlights are exposed. A set of the covers you have on your car are just what I'm looking for. I was contemplating getting the motors and making her original, that is, until I saw your vette. It seems your vette is not only popular, but pretty inluential as well. I'm sure I could go to Ecklers or somthing right now, but If you would, can you advise on yours. Please excuse me if I should have started a new thread in Tech issues. But I thought this one appropriate. Again, great vette!!

Panic you car flat out just "WORKS"! Everything about it from the paint to the rivoted flares to the wheels to the grill shell. It all works together! You followed a "theme". Even if your car is not to someone else's taste it's still a hot ride because you created the total package. Great job!
