Default Best looking Vette ever?

I've seen better pics of Chris McDonald's Vette than these, but this is one great looking Vette. I think it may be my favorite of all time. http://www.pro-touring.com/featured_...s_69_vette.htm

There is something about a Vette with properly done flaired fenders and massive wheels.
They just look so awesome.
That one rocks

When Chris first finished his car he had some very nice bigger shots of the car. Those were the pics that need to be seen. I have always been a fan of black cars and his is one that helped me make my decision to go with black on mine.

Yes! Black looks good on your 70. A lot of time spent getting the panels smooth and flat.

One of Chris' old post was, "Paint it black to paint it black". He made reference to an old school technique of actually paint the whole car black to find the areas that still aren't perfect, so you can eventually . . . paint it black!

I have always loved that car, just looks superb. It's hard to believe its the same car from the 'before' pics.

Beautiful car, and MANY, MANY long hours invested without a doubt.

I personally wouldn't go as far as say the best Vette EVER, but an incredible machine without question.

I like the stock Gauges better than the Autometer's, To tell you the truth I hate his car, I look at mine at the bare frame and wish it looked like that!

Wow that is exactly what I plan to do when I buy this '72 I'm looking at. I want a beautiful G-Machine just like this one!
