Default Detailed the '73 for a show this weekend (pics)

Here are some pics I took of my '73 at a show today. I spent a good amount of time detailing her after her winter hibernation. Enjoy the pics! (And, yes, for those who see the "Sting Ray" etched into the rear glass, I know it's supposed to be "Stingray" but it was on the car when I bought it.)

That is a nice clean detailed 73. I also have a 73 and thought about putting some different rims on it other than the rally rims. On your car are those 15x8 chrome rallys, or are they a 16 inch size. And I noticed on the exhaust you are not using the chrome rectangle tips, but have dual tips on yours. I saw these on after market sets, or Pypes. What do you have on your car.

The interior shot looks great.

Thank you for the compliments! And I'm pretty sure they are 15x8 but now I'm going to have to check when I get back to the show tomorrow. (Left it there for the night.) But I'm not sure what the dual tips are. It was like this when I bought the car. Now I'm motivated to find out, though!

Car looks great! I really like the color. We are still debating on what color to paint our '77 and have been considering blue. Do you have any information on it - color name etc.? Possibly some photos of it in the sun as well?

Thanks for sharing,
Adam
