Default Some new photo's

I recently cleaned it up and even took it to a small show, thought
that since it was cleaned up it would be a good time to snap some
photo's of it. At the show it caught a lot of older peoples (in their 50s and 60s)
attention, men and women. I'm usually modest about my stuff but I guess
it must be pretty nice to get the attention it got today. I also met some really
nice people there at the show and might be helping to finish a build with one
of them.







It was a beautiful day today I wish every day has as nice as today.
Hope you enjoyed, thanks for looking.

Riggs.

Very nice,
Normally I don't care for the trendy wheels on the classics but these are tasteful,
How big are the wheels and tires, they fit very nicely,

Cheers,
P.

13 bats is right, those wheels and tires are a perfect fit. I love the car.

"riggs" the car looks great! The right stance and nice choise of wheels to compliment the overall look of the car. Well done!

Very nice looking 1974! I like the four tail/brake light conversion. That was on my to-do list for this summer but....

With these C-3's its all about the look (mostly)...and if there is a "pose" that is unflatering ,to me, it is looking straight on from the side .. .. I'm Not sure if its your wheels and tires or the stance but your car looks fantastic from all angles ... great job ..

Hi Riggs,
The car looks beautiful, and as has been said the stance is just right. The second picture really shows off the intricate shape and lines of the front fender and hood. My guess is that was done with a sketch and clay... not with a computer. The stylists had good 'eyes'. There are curves like those on some women!!!!
Again... NICE!
Regards,
Alan

Thanks to all of you for your kind words. I achieved that look by being
apart of this great forum and seeing all the great builds that this site
creates and blending them into what I think the car should be. I have more
planed for this car and hope it brings it to anther level.

Riggs.

That's a great looking car. Nice choice on the wheels, they are a good match for the car and set it off nicely!!
