We took these pictures of my '64 a couple weeks ago. She's just about all done...

I've always felt the lines of the C2 Vettes were among the most artistic in the post war history of automotive design. Drop top E types (to my tastes) probably being 2nd.

Your pictures really bring that out. You've done a magnificent job there. I hope you take it as a compliment when I shamelessly steal your style for some framed shots of my own '64.

These are about as close to 'artistic' as I've been able to pull off. Though "artistic" or "autistic" may be in the eyes of the beholder.......

Beautiful, I especially like your last picture, the one with the door handle, one of the better pictures of a C2 Vette I've seen.

Thanks for all your great comments. Some professional photographer, a friend of the painter, took the pictures. A whole lot of time (4+ years), money ($$$), sweat & tears (gallons), have gone into her so she could get back on the road. Now, I'm almost afraid to drive her.

She's Daytona Blue, though she was born Roman Red, and the tail pipe extensions fit the stock 2 1/2 inch exhaust system.
