Soft Bumper Vettes with Stripes!
Hi All,
My classic white 75 is awesome, but I would like to add a little color in the form stripes, hash marks or other accents. It has a red interior.
I see lots of pics on here of chrome bumper cars with various treatments. but not many of 74's and up.
If you don't mind posting a pic of your car - and who doesn't like doing that
- I would love to see them.
Thanks

Here's mine with period correct pinstripes on the hood and fender body lines, no doubt added by the delivering dealer on this original paint 75.

I think I got them from Ecklers but it looks like they only have black now.

My '73 is classic white and I've been thinking about adding rally stripes from the rear deck, over the T-tops and down the hood, in another shade of white, very slight difference, so the stripes are just an accent and you really need to look close to find them.

I have seen a couple of painters put on stripes. there talent is amazing.there eye for detail and the steady hand is really something to watch .But the art is dying, there was a time when everyone wanted something done on there car or motorcycle.
