I'm toying with the idea too. Plain white exterior looks boring. I have a guy to do the work for free, just need a stripe/flame scheme.

I've seen a few on here with the ZL-1 configuration. Maybe you can get an idea from that w/ a little alteration. I have never seen 2 stripes up the middle like the Camaros, but have seen the one solid up the middle. Not bad in my opinion.
here is one:

I am looking at just a stinger on the tail of my white 73.
Like the one pictured, but black with no forward stripe.
Hope this helps.

Too linear for me, c-3s are very curvy.
Red might look better.

Not the best pic of the stripes, but it's all I have handy at the moment.
