ditched the rallys for centerlines again...
so i went back to a 15x5.5 centerline fronts with 205-70's
and 15x9 progressive rears with 275-60's. that rear wheelwell is STUFFED... my younger boy (he just turned 18) proclaimed that "now it looks like some ex-80's NHRA prostock wet dream, dad. you GOTTA paint it like one "!!! so he started messing around with "MSPAINT"... i didnt think he did too badly, these 'coke bottle' vettes are REALLY hard to make look right with graphics, as there aint a flat spot or a straight line on the car except between the headlights and maybe the fuel filler door, hah hah.. its hard to make something 'flow' with the lines of a C3 shark. so, heres the rundown.. pic#1- how it looks right now as it sits in our garage. pic#2- a gnarly 80's prostreet throwback. me likey, but maybe a bit TOO wild- even for me. pic#3- a "motion"-essque scheme. i really like it, and its probably the "most likely to happen" since its nutty, but not TOO nutty... pic#4- my personal favorite. looks like a bastardized version of that ex-80's prostocker he talked about, minus the sponsors decals. i wanna so bad, but im pretty sure the wife wont want to ride in the car if i do. shutup, thats NOT a 'win-win'! remember if mama aint happy aint NOBODY happy. so, any thoughts? rants? hates? likes? in the end i will do whatever i feel like since its my car anyway, heh heh... just wanted to share, any opinions--good or bad-- are welcome. just looking for a bit of feedback thats all. pic#1--- pic#2--- pic#3--- pic#4--- |

Either picture #1 or mimic the 82 Collectors Edition side stripes and painted two tone hood.The others have come and gone and would only work if they were painted during that era.IMHO.
