Trick Paint Job
Has anyone ever seen flames put on a C3 vette? I'm considering it, but I'm not sure how it would look. I'd put them on over the winter, so I can take my time, but I'm not to keen on how it might look? Does anyone have any pictures or know where I can find some? :confused:

I saw a 69 that was a built Drag Car that was all black with Ghost flames on the hood it looked awesome. They were the kind of paint that you could only see from certain angles though. I dont think traditional flames would look too good on a vette.

I don't think a vette with flames would be very wonderful to look at. It probably doesn't help the karma of the vette either :)

Re: Trick Paint Job (79Corvette02)
i too have wondered about this. i think it would be rather amusing if not cool. i would think going with the traditional flames (yellow red orange) on a black vette. hopefully we can get some pics up in here. hopefully the concept of flames on vettes won't make anyone... :U :U :U

I saw this car this summer. I liked the double flame thing, but I, too, think that maybe it is too much for a Vette.
