88 SC drawing...

Hey guys,
I know technically this is not a "Historical" question, BUT! Since I am making the t-shirts I REALLY need to know if the cars are "Historically Accurate" Therefore I chose to let you history buffs tell me what you think, and what needs to be changed before I post them to CafePress...


Here is the 88SC I just got done drawing, what do you think?

I think it would look alot better with the other spoiler. Not all '88 SCs got the funky spoiler...

The side GFX might look big because the shading on the top of them did not come through, I will see what I can do... They look flatish in that pic. There should be a highlight on the top of them, I might have to do something else...

I used a picture, just for accuracy, keep in mind I have about 6~8 hours of work in each the cars, except the ones I can double up on like the 89-90 RS and the 88 Camaro. Then I just change a few details to be accurate...

There is NOTHING left of the original picture if that is what your wondering...

The only thing that I see is the black around the lug nuts on the rims. The SC had silver wheels with silver center caps. The IROC and prior years' Z28's had the lugnuts surrounded with black, the SC was silver. Other than that, it needs TTops and then it will look like my old car. ( I put the IROC hood on my car, replaced the rear spoiler and replaced the center caps with black ones.)

I might be able to fudge T-tops

I used a set of wheels that I have from my 83SC that I am pretty sure came from a Z28 (but it had Silver centercaps With "Camaro" on them) as a reference for the wheels to figure out what they looked like.

SO I need to change the black around the lugs to Gray, and change the spoiler to the standard spoiler. ( I will be posting both spoilers for those of our people who like the odd spoiler)

AND make the highlight above the GFX to stand out more (makes the side skirt seem tall as is)

IF thats about it then I will be posting tonight

YES THERE WILL BE A 85-86 & 87 Z28 that I will use this car as a template (if you wanted to know)
