1971-1972 Steel Cities Corvette:

Looks different for sure. Almost has a green tint to it whereas 1970 Laguna Gray is more blue tinted:

LoL, I actually did that one for Dan (BlackChevelleSS) a very long time ago. I had posted up a few different ones in different colors & he wanted to see black stripes on satin black or gray. I believe this was prior to his 73 SS getting smashed. Looks best with dog dish wheels or Vette Rallies like the one above it, IMHO.

That Corvette is VERY close to the color of my 2005 Hyundai Sonata. JB

maybe you guys would like to try this out. its for sale too if anyones interested let me know.

also has the swivel buckets, round gauge dash, and factory center console with floor shifter.

the only thing i think sucks about this truck is that the tires dont have raised white lettering, and the rims need a chrome trim ring and police center caps (in my opinion)

Looks great! Did you do the paint yourself? ....details please...what was the paint did U use the "matte" clear coat?

Looks like a Mad Max movie here.

Limey no offense taken. I think it looks better without all of the decals. The orange wheels looked hideous. The new ones aren't the coolest, but at least they aren't bright orange! Looked like a car that was ready for the dirt track or a demo derby before.

Travis, I like that Elky but the wheels would definitely have to go.

BRL, LMAO! She sips nitro... with Phase 4 heads! 600 horsepower through the wheels! She's meanness set to music and the bitch is born to run!
