SWEET! I saw a vette with a wing on it like that a few days ago and wondered to myself why more people aren't using that wing because it looked so good. Very nice and good to see some progress.

Got them from Vanacor's. and they were ALOT cheaper than what Ecklers wanted!!! I saved over $200.
and with the money I saved ..THAT paid for the wing (which I also got from Vanacor's.)

Rose...I thought for a moment that I was looking at pics of a different car when all I saw was the back of a white Vette. :D
Btw what did you think of the quality of the flares from Vanacors? Some have said that their glass work is not up to scratch.
Good to see some progress anyhow. Did you take any "during" photos while you were doing the flares at all?
Keep up the good work.

*LOL* I know...I took a look back at the ''beginning''..WOW!!! What a difference!!

Btw what did you think of the quality of the flares from Vanacors? Some have said that their glass work is not up to scratch..
The ''glass'' is fine....only real ''problem'' I can think of is that the flares didn't ''match'' real well...ummm...the mold seems to have been a bit different from left to right..the ''fit'' wasn't quite as good on the passenger side...but it shouldn't be a problem once it is glassed in. It did take some extra cutting to get it to ''fit''.

Did you take any "during" photos while you were doing the flares at all?
Keep up the good work.
I dunno...*chuckle* hubby did the ''actual'' cutting..I was at work..will have to ask him! :)

That does look really good!!!!!!!!!! Great choice in wheels tires, flares and the wing! You may have posted before, but what color are you gonna paint her?

I sure wish my wife cared about Vettes as much as you. :D

I think it'll work well with your flares, front spoiler etc. Don't think it'd look good on a '70 though. ;)
