I'm looking at a silver 74 and I'm thinking of plastidip painting some fake-looking side windows like a 2000gt, 240z, or new Corvette on the sail panels.

I wanna limo tint the side windows and use satin black for the sail panels.

Here are some pics to give you an idea of what I'm talking about. Please use the first pic of the red C3 to shop the side windows onto or the silver one if you can black out the door glass too.

--Or if you can find a better picture feel free to use it as well.

Thanks

You'll have to black out the door glass on this one too.

Thanks again

Hard to work with such a low res pic. I only spent 20 minutes on this, hope it is what you were asking for, Limo tint with a...

...side panel!

I vote no but respect your vision!

Excellent thinking. I like that touch, wold not hurt the look at all if they came that way from Chevy.

interesting... maybe follow the curve of the wheel arch a little more on the bottom of the 'window'
You could probably go to a window tint shop, get some scraps and just wet them and stick 'em on to see if the look will work for you.

Then up in the back just a bit.... so it isn`t quite so long or pointed. I think we`re on to something here!

it needs the Monza back window to finish it off

Thanks Mewn--I appreciate you taking the time to do it.

I've been looking through Google Images trying to find a hi-res pic from a dead-on side view but can't seem to find one.

The more I look at different cars from different angles I don't know if it would ever look right.

The 240z and the 2000gt roof line drops off more in the rear and the vette is more straight across/flat (if that makes any sense to you).

Maybe I could just go from nothing at the bottom of the door glass up to about 3"-5" at the top of the sail panel to match the angle of the windshield rake and the roof-line more closely. Kind of like a 67 fastback mustang

So instead of having the rear-side-glass-look it would make it look like the door glass had more of an angle at the rear instead of 90 degrees.

Does that make sense?

mike wells

Here's a fastback and a c3 from a side view so you can get an idea of what i mean.

See how the rear of the door glass follows the angle of the vent window on the fastback?

I like the vents and back window the motion cars used.

Nice touch, it could pass as a factory look

Brandons72vette

Which rendering?

Yours of course

Since creating it, I have really started to like the way it looks. I think it looks pretty great.
