Default The Vert Never Looked So Good

Not another "I just polished the Vette" thread

I just had a caricature made up of the Vert

This guy is based in England and he's great. He's not a Forum Vendor so I can't post up the link but I'm really happy with it. PM me and I can send it.

What do you think?

Rollin' on 30's up front, huh?

The license plate looks like it's outta perspective with the front of the car....


Looks awesome, I'd be glad to have something like that hangin' on my wall!

Nice work - Dave! I'd love to send a pic to your friend and have him do one for me!

One thing, though - I think you ought to get your front end aligned, looks like you have a little problem with toe-in and camber......
