Re: True American muscle camaro

Heh, I love this country and everything, but man.

The way I usually rep is I have an American flag that is just a tad bit bigger than the vinyl sheet that covers the hatch area. I just set the flag on top of that and use paper clips on the sides to hold it on. Looks great.

That Camaro, may be a little too much for me.

Re: True American muscle camaro

great price for a 383 TPI car in what appears to be good condition but the paint is a little to "patriotic" for me.

Re: True American muscle camaro

Rather than trying to look like its draped in a flag, a more spastic (artistic) approach with stars and stripes going everywhere would look better in my opinion. Something like this would be sweet:

Re: True American muscle camaro

wow, I work in that town and I can't say I ever remember seeing that car around. Definitely the patriotic paint job if I've ever seen one.
