Appears to be the factory colour Lemans blue.

The last one is the older of the three, LOL. The young lady in the first two is my daughter, the young lady in the last one is my wife.

Doh, I forgot the sig with the photos and couldn't get the post deleted to do it over. This should get it fixed.

Really like the bubble back window with the Kamm tail. Did you do that?

Since I took those Iwas able to align the top so the windows actually line up with the weatherstrip

Kid Vette - a local shop did the work for me. Love driving this car - did a full resto-mod. Has a new frame, LS3, digital gauges, and C5 seats.

homestead - thanks.

Think I might start looking for a wrecked 82 and put a flip up window on my 73.

Love the color! Is Electron Blue a modern Corvette color? If so, what year is it?
Thanks,
John

Black and Tan: Love the fastback rear window with chrome bumpers! I like my '69, but I always thought the rear window/sailplanes on the 68-77 was a big aero mistake.

Medic1555: Man, the LM blue looks great on that car! With the minor exception of the front bumperettes, I always thought the 78/79 (with the PC spoilers) was a very good looking design.

I plan on chrome bumpering my 79 as Black and Tan has but when I see a 78/79 with the pace car spoilers like Medic1555's I have major second thoughts about doing it.

Major here over B&T's spectacular custom, but I'm keeping my '78's nose and tail w/PC kit as is (repairs aside). That said, after living with the B2Z paint scheme for 37+ years, '04-'07 LMB is looking more and more likely my top candidate for a new color. ...which is why I find myself here on the blue thread fairly often.
