: nice car but DAMN!!! those stripes! dreis454 Dec 13th, 06, 2:53 PM http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/Chevrolet-Chevelle-Super-Sport-Chevelle-SS-1972_W0QQcmdZViewItemQQcategoryZ6164QQihZ016QQitem Z260064734684QQrdZ1 whomever painted them needs to lay off the crack!! RacnJsn95 Dec 13th, 06, 3:10 PM Yup... that's my ultimate pet peeve! I hate skinny stupid stripes! I got the factory deminsions for the super sport stripes when I got my 71 painted and ended up with this... http://www.chevelles.com/showroom/data/500/MVC-001F1.JPG Needless to say, I wasn't very pleased... Brettd85 Dec 13th, 06, 5:05 PM lol those are both horrible. furball8994 Dec 13th, 06, 5:26 PM This is a TRUE muscle car and is one of the last original SS's to be found.Someone better snag this one up quick.:clonk: Jason. Are you saying, You paid for the factory stripes and got THAT:eek: mad hooker Dec 13th, 06, 6:00 PM the left one looks crooked! RacnJsn95 Dec 13th, 06, 6:09 PM the left one looks crooked! You're right, it does look crooked... Jason. Are you saying, You paid for the factory stripes and got THAT Pretty much... I found the factory demensions, and printed them out, and said that was how I wanted the stripes, and I even told them "I HATE skinny stripes", and gave them an example of the 69 Nova they painted with skinny stripes... The cars gone now, I don't have to worry about it. First they said they didn't have the time to paint stripes at all, and I was fine with that, "Just paint it Blue," I said... Then the day it was being painted they were like, "Man, we just have to do something to it" and drew what's on the hood now on paper... I changed it and made it how I would have wanted it to look (I didn't like their "flames"), and said as long as the stripes were BIG (like factory) that was fine... That's what I got... Exactly how they drew it, NOT how I did. I guess I get what I pay for. :( The closer you got the worse it looked... Complete with stupid ass skulls, little cross bones, flames inside the stripes, chevy bowties, gross smoke/fog effect on the outsides, nasty ass pin striping; you name it! STUPID!!! Here's a closer shot so you can see what I'm talking about... You can't see the little cross bones, but you can see most of the above mentioned crap. http://www.chevelles.com/showroom/data/500/MVC-002F3.JPG I hated it so much, I actually contemplated spraying the hood and trunklid primer black... I never could bring myself to do it though, since I had been waiting for 7 years to get the car one shiny color. 70 nialator Dec 13th, 06, 6:29 PM Those actually might be ok if they didn’t look like they were sown on AND the correct size minus the bowtie in the front, never mind they suck…….. furball8994 Dec 13th, 06, 6:36 PM I like that. They don't have time to paint stripes! They sure had time to *#@k it up though. Dean Dec 13th, 06, 9:27 PM How bout this one? http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/Chevrolet-Chevelle-1969-Chevy-Chevelle_W0QQitemZ220058070755QQihZ012QQcategoryZ6 164QQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem :clonk: oldtimebaseballfan Dec 13th, 06, 10:09 PM I don't know which of those cars looks worse but the stripes make the cars look like cheap clones. RacnJsn95 Dec 14th, 06, 7:30 AM How bout this one? http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/Chevrolet-Chevelle-1969-Chevy-Chevelle_W0QQitemZ220058070755QQihZ012QQcategoryZ6 164QQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem :clonk: I think that one takes the cake! texaspilot180 Dec 14th, 06, 10:27 AM At least they didn't run them up over the roof, especially on the VT car. I've seen that on some, makes you just shake your head and wonder. Looks like both cars need the hood and trunk deck repainted, would easily increase the price a bunch. Jeff 68SS in TX | ||
