Re: Convertible COTM thread

I made the thread so all you 'vert owners here would see it and make some nominations. There's only a handful of cars in the running right now

Re: Convertible COTM thread

What about the guy with the black vert with the 19 iroc wheels and the carbon fiber hood. That is the best looking vert I have seen along with bluezees and that black one with red heritage stripes that just got re-done and sold.

Re: Convertible COTM thread

Id post a pic of mine except it has no engine, no hood, no interior, no spoiler, flat Ronal's, chipping Maaco paint job (Fire red over Maui Blue), etc... Now all of the parts waiting to go into it are awful sexy.

Re: Convertible COTM thread

Hey bluezee, have you thought about putting white heritage stripes on your car? The early Z28s and 70-72 SS Chevelles look great blue with white stripes. The heritage stripes really add to our cars IMHO. That black with red car you re-done was great and is just like mine except I am going to go with white stripes. I wish I knew someone with one of those computer programs where you can add stripes and colors and look at it before you go spend a ton of money at the body shop.

Re: Convertible COTM thread

When my car gets a new paint job, which I'm hoping is within 2 yrs from now, it will be getting custom heritage stripes that will look like brushed bare metal. The same stripes are being added to my dads purple haze 92 heritage convertible and will be finished at the end of March so I'll show you what I mean when we get it back.
