Thanks. at first i didn't like the 78 stripes to much, but after i got this car they grew on me.

I like the color scheme

Cool little car. Nice engine combo, too, I like 289s. Though I'd want to shed those stock heads sometime.

I would like to go with some aluminum heads at some point, but thats just one of the many things i dream about for this car. i realy want to get it painted but then there is the problem of finding stripes. i do like the color of these but don't think anyone is reproducing them.

You could always get someone to paint the graphics on the car.

I think once spring comes and it warms up i am going to take the car and try to find some one who can make the stripes or like you said see if some one can paint them on.

I just got thinking, there was a post awhile ago about 78 stripes where someone photo shopped 4 different colors on to a car. green, blue, purple, and charcoal. they all looked prety good, but the charcoal one was awesome. i would like to have it done in the charcoal. i do not know how to link it but heres a pic.
