Default New paint pictures

As some of you may remember my 81 was wrecked a few months ago. Well it finally has new paint and I got a little crazy and had them stripe it. Obviously the car is still disassembled and these pictures do not do it justice. It really looks sharp.

Nice choice on the stripe. :yesnod: I also like how you handled the stripe on the L-88 hood. Should look great with that color combo. :yesnod: :cheers:

I love the stripe. Yes 427....when I owned a coupe..I wanted to do the paint scheme of the white ZL1. Only black base with a red stripe. Didn't see how I could make it look that cool on a vert though...but if I get another coupe at some point that's the paint scheme :cool:

I just caught myself wondering last night how a stripe would look on an 80-82 body style.

It looks great! I'm glad :D
