Default best custom c3 pics

not too long ago i had seen a picture of an 82 i believe with a blue base coat and a white strip, it was a custom car, same body but completley re-done... looked as if it was a racing corvette...

so at some point im planning to buy another corvette without an engine, and redo this thing to race, new paint job 502 engine... the whole nine yards.. so if anyone has a corvette that is custom please post a pic and btw, if your the guy with the corvette im describing please post a ton of pics of it, it is absolutley amazing and ive decided its my favorite corvette

I'm not sure this is the car you're talking about because the color is blue but the stripe is silver. Take a look. http://forums.corvetteforum.com/c3-g...ion-begun.html

What he said! Not sure what car the OP is referring to as there are a lot of great cars here. Each stand out in their own right. That's the beauty of them all. Sort of like Burger King (or is it Mcdonald's) - Have it your way!!!

Dave's Rolling Thunder has to be one of the cleanest customs out there. The way everything is blended together and smooth is just beautiful.
