New stripes
I shared a pic of the Vette when it first came out of the paint shop but the emblems, 3rd brake light and gas door weren't on yet. Here's the finished project.
..and even painted my show model to match.

Actually, you may be right. I just had the an autotrans flush and the differential changed; the radiator was flaushed when I switched over to R134, but I can't find any of my records where I've ever changed the brake fluid. :bb

Looks GREAT!!! It's about time people start putting racing stripes on Vettes. I did mine (white stripes on black) about two years ago and get a lot of looks.

Your GS Clone and others is what got me thinking about the stripe. I played with the computer to see what it would look like and wanted it a little different. Here's the Photoshop of the single wide stripe I was thinking about..and finally deceided on the double.
