CoastGuardZ Posted September 19, 2004 Share #2 Posted September 19, 2004 I have seen this before on a Z. Look in the gallery under some of the shows, like shasta or MSA. The one (s) I have seen before were the plain stripes that go front to back, but may I recommend the '60's and '70's Muscle Car style (Chevelle SS) where the stripes don't run all the way from bottom of front to bottom of back, but instead from the end of the hood to the end of the trunk and have the small "pin" stripe around each stripe.Nate Link to comment https://www.classiczcars.com/topic/13326-electric-blue-and-white-stripessounds-like-a-live-show/#findComment-95722 Share on other sites More sharing options...

CoastGuardZ Posted September 20, 2004 Share #6 Posted September 20, 2004 A lot of times those old chevy's had vinyl Landau tops, so the stripes were only on the hood and trunk, although on cars without the vinyl top I have seen them on the roof. Notice how the stripes on 240zguy's pic go all the way down to the spoiler. On the older style they stopped at the end of the hood and trunk. I'll see what else I can dig up.Nate Link to comment https://www.classiczcars.com/topic/13326-electric-blue-and-white-stripessounds-like-a-live-show/#findComment-95757 Share on other sites More sharing options...
mperdue Posted September 20, 2004 Share #7 Posted September 20, 2004 Hello everyone! I'd like to preface this post with a big 'shout-out' and thanks to the illustrious admin of this beloved site, without whom this discussion wouldn't even be possible. I think we should each take a few moments each day to turn our thoughts to the guy behind the curtain as they say, the one who makes it happen, the MAN WITH THE PLAN - of course I'm referring to Mike - the PHP wizard of classiczcars.com. Again thanks Mike for making this all happen for us members and the thousands of guests whose lives are geared up a notch each time they visit this place that some of us may even call home. Have you seen the 280Zap stripes? Very cool vintage look.

sblake01 Posted September 20, 2004 Share #8 Posted September 20, 2004 I always thought that the ZZap would have looked better without the side stripe.
