as a teenager in the early/mid-'70s, I worked at a small Chevrolet dealership (sweeping floors, washing & waxing inventory) that always had a few Corvettes in-stock:
everybody ohhh'd and ahhh'd about White-over-Red convertibles, but I recall having a severe case of the screamin' thigh-sweats over a Brown coupe about '74-'76.....

That is sure a great great paint job, to bad we didn't off the engine bay, it is also sweet.

Thanks but no thanks on that picture Sandy. It makes my Vette look like it did 9 years ago.
Really wish I could put that photo on your web site so I wouldn't have to look at it. You better check your med's.

Not feeling it....
Please don't hate me, but I'm not feeling that at all 
I appreciate the effort and the quality is good, the person that airbrushed it is really talented by far. The flames by itself looks good.
I think they should be layed on a certain "way"... Like start at the complete front end of a car and taper back.
Having the flames come from the front of the hood and spit out the vents just doesn't look right proportionally.
Plus I don't mind a brown car, but I think the colors clash and don't flow well together....I would have left the flames off.
Again that is just MY opinion, I wouldn't do that to my car. But as long as your happy that's all that matters.
