my2kvet...i wish that beautiful black vette sat in my garage because then it would eliminate me having to hook up mine!! anyway...i'm game for the vineyards @ 150 as soon as my car is out of the shop (lady decided to go before the light turned green). in fact, i brought my C5 to a shop in clovis that came highly recommended to work on vettes. the name of the shop is Fortney Auto Body and they were recomended by Corvette Fever magazine. I just hope my car is done before next weekend for my trip down to Six Flags Magic Mountain in Valencia...

 

Oh, I see what you're talking about now!
That lettering was put there by my mechanic who has made all the mods to my car. He owns Corvette Specialty of California Racing hence the letters CSOC Racing on the side gills. Sorry about the confusion

 

Thanks Dan....you know, pewter is a tricky color to match because it's not Silver and it's not Gray....I prefer having the windshield decal match either the color of the body of the caror match the color of other accent pieces you may already have on your car.....the Corvette America catalog has six colors available. These are: Gold, Light Oak, Red, Silver, White, and Yellow. But I'm not crazy about the font style they offer for the letters. The Ecklers catalog has Red, Silver, Yellow, White, and Black. I like their font style the best.I think (just my opinion) that since the area where you are going to put this is the dark area towards the top of the winshield, and given the fact that the letters aren't available in Pewter color, I would go with Red because if you try Silver it's not going to match the Pewter (although it's close) but I just don't think Silver would look right for your car. But that's just my opinion. Hope this helps

 

Thanks my2kvet!

 

Thanks Rita.....when is the next car show in San Diego?

 

Any up to date sign company that does vinyl lettering could make these type of letters. They can be cut from any color and in any font you would like. They are cut on a plotter much like any plotter usedwith CAD. The plotters just have a roller knife instead of a pen. I looked into getting the kit for one of my plotters so I could make painting masks for custom paint jobs on boats.

 

Hi Pedro,
Sorry, I haven't been around much. Lately, my schedulehas beenreal crazy, but to answer your ? the next vette show will be at the Del Mar Fair on 6/13 & 14. I will look up the exact dates and get back to you. Think you can make it down? I can take some time off and get there, so let me know.

Take care. Stay safe.
Rita

Traffic can get pretty bad going there, but might be worth it.

Hey, did you get my email re: Rich? He is hanging on and showing positive signs - Praise the Lord.
Talk to you later.
