I've been working on my Sebring convertible lately in preperation for the All Chrysler nationals at Carlisle in July. The following are some pics of the work so far. Obviously the wheels and tires are a retro choice and the decals and name badges as well. The dual exhausts are cherry bomb turbos and the rear spoiler is the factory GP unit that came from the T-Bat. I still have some interior work to do, trim and decals there as well, plus some more paint touches to the exterior before the show date. Check out the progress so far...

Looks good. Are you going to paint the rear spoiler the same color as the car?

Nope, it's his and it looks good. Just paint the spoiler or add more black accents to the car to blend it into a theme. wink

I would love to see a large contingent of GPs at Carlisle...especially from GP.net would be very cool. All Chrysler will be my first trip to Carlisle so I'm sure it will be a "soak it in" experience. We have to many other irons in the fire to add any other travel plans but I would like to make it next year.

I plan to leave the spoiler on the car black for now since part of my future plans are to do a tu-tone paint scheme of silver and black on the car.

That is sweet. I see you been hiding this stuff from us. I thought the first pic the wheels were photoshopped until I scrolled down. When did you get those? I saw one like that around here and wanted to take a pic for you and show you how well the wheels looked, and you already have some. I love the road runner dude. And the plate, I guess you got that when you got the car, too...It all looks good, now a real turbo under the hood wood be sweet!

I'll be on the show field with the Chrysler Sebring Convertible Club (CSCC)...should be there for most of the day Saturday but I'll have to be heading home on Sunday. Cant say for sure that I'll be with the car all day as I plan on checking the rest of the show out for sure.

Carlisle All Chrysler Nats is July 11-12-13. The road runner decals came from Performance Graphics eBay store. They have great prices on alot of OEM repro decals. The badges are custom domed decals from EU Decals...I also have set of centercap decals on order from them with the old Chrysler Pentastar logo in black/chrome. EU Decals offers very good prices for custom made to order decals like this as long as you provide a hi quality jpeg image for them to work from.

The "meep meep" horn was actually one of the first mods I did to the car along with my Looney Tunes road runner floor mats laugh

i'm sayin you tint the taillights... but only the red part... tape off the reverse clear area and it will look sweet...

either clear corners or maybe tint the corners as they are now to go with the black theme...

do you have any front on shots of the car?

what's it look like with the top up?
