possible 68 motion vette on e-bay????

[djunod]

Doesn't look like one to me. Looks overpriced as well.

were the gills on the motion vettes made by motion or were they an after market item?

If I'm not mistaken, Joel said at SCR6 he just turned the lower fender panel "backwards" to get the outward facing "gill" look you're talking about.

with the gills.
courios how they mount to the body.
were they the chrome inserts or are they fiberglass ?

They are glass. Joel put them on the MOTION GT CORVETTS. Go to PANTERAS pix before the last reunion. Also scr6 motion1 has a yellow one . Just measure ,cut ,reverse&rebond, They look way cool. TIM

Here are some pictures of them being installed on a Maco.

Just so you will know those are '67 vette side louvers turned around backwards like Joel did with the 68 & 69 GT vettes.

I liked them reversed--Damn thing looked like it was breathing through gills----------

If you have a '68 vette just open the hood and look at the backside of the fender louvers. You can see what they looked like from the inside of the engine compartment. Then just cut a rectangle area out around them and then glass them back in place wrong side out. Finish sanding them smooth and you will have the same effect.
