It looks pretty good. What did it sting you if you don't mind? I've been toying with the idea of selling mine to get something else I want...

Thats how mine is meant to look - Classic white - rally's etc etc except mines a 76.

You need to resize the pic to 180 wide and host it say at photo bucket.

Then in your control panel,  insert the url link of the new picture into you avatar field after removing the original one.

Any problems just reply here.

you can buy them from ecklers or corvette america,or from the same places you can get kits,the rubber seals in them wear out,the kit may be a cheaper option.:x

Looks real classic Nifty, very nice. An idea for future shots is to put the car somewhere where you have reflections - so trees, stuff like that. (and even try and do it on a cloudy day... cloudy days have more even lighting than bright sunny days... otherwise just put it in the shade). Gives the paint more depth and really shows off the shine in the coat :) (see my latest thread to see what I mean). Anyway don't want to sound like a knowitall, I just work around photographers and do graphic design/photoshopping half my working week so my brain never switches off :D
