how would this look
theres an 87 droptop Z28 up the street from my house. its been sitting for a while and the paint is al weather beaten, the roof leaks but the interior still looks nice, theres 80K on it or somethin. i was thinkin itd be a real nice cruiser, since its black id have it painted black again. i was wonderin how itd look with a real nice flat deep black paint job with single crome iroc stripe and maybe even a chrome style IROC-Z decal for the doors in the factory font. and have 18" iroc wheels on it as well, probably a 2" drop tooo. whatta u guys think? someone wanna photoshop go for it. i was wonderin if itd look to ric-ey or tacky

IHMO, i think everything sounds great except for the chrome stripes.
Those just scream autozone special to me.
Buy it, drop tops are cool.

Hey, calm down man. You did say "flat deep black". I read it as flat black aswell. I think it sounds good except for the chrome stripe, maybe a silver would look better?

I thought you meant flat black as well. When people talk about getting a new paintjob, I assume it would be a good paintjob without orange peel, drips, waves, etc.
Anyway, I'm with the others. Chrome stripes just sound tacky.

Did you say drop top? 87? Z28, NOT Iroc?
Uh, don't do anything to it. aren't there only about 8 of them know to exist? Ask Willie over on History/resto.
Run the VIN...buy the car.
