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: http://www.pearldrummersforum.com/sh...ic-Cars-lovers

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.
