Corvette paint scheme on third gen

This might be a wild shot but has anyone ever painted up a third gen with an early Corvette paint scheme like this?

Eh thirdgens dont have the body lines to complement a color scheme like that.

OK. My photoshop ability is a little rusty. How would this look. You don't need the body lines. Like many race cars, chrome trim can be easily painted on to simulate the look.
