Definitely looks good,those stripes turned out really nice,by the time they wet sand and polish it you'll need sunglasses on just to look at it haha.If i can get my car to look even half as good as that i'll be happy.

I love the color choice. The stripes are just enough, seeing this I am now in a hurry to finish mine. A long way to go, but time well spent can cover a lot of work.

Thanks guys! It's been suggested that the wheels would look better black, or charcoal gray, with the same stainless steel trim and caps. What do you guys think?

I prefer the rallies shiny but on that car I'd go with something like these with grey spokes.

American Torque Thrust are a great looking wheel, but I'm not much on mags. I like steel wheels better, and I like the Rally Wheels. I used to have Cragar S/S wheels on it for many years, but had these built about 3 yrs ago, when the Cragars finally started getting funky looking.

More pics when I got home tonight. Had to push it out of the garage, cause they had the doors off for 4 weeks and the battery was deader than dead! 60 month BiMart battery was 8 yrs old! Had to go get a replacement to start it and get back in the garage.

This is where all the restoration work took place all summer. That little one car garage is so cramped that it came out to the driveway each day, and then back in the garage each night! It's narrow and deep, but there's a Goldwing in front of the car, plus my mill, lathe, and 12 ton press. Just enough room to close the door behind the Camaro!

I like the Corvette Rallies a lot too but I still think the dark spoke old school TTs would look great on that car with the dark paint and ghost stripes.
I'd keep the rallies shiny if I stayed with them but that's just me,guess I'm get'n old but I'm not big on the whole black is the new chrome thing going on now.
It's everywhere,new Harleys,rat rods,black wheels on everything under the sun.
Give me chrome,polished or stainless I say,I like some bling.
I like the rallies enough that I even had someone photoshop a set on my '93 to see how they'd look on a newer car.
