Outside Pics.-
Sunday, November 18, 2007 8:02 AM
I took the car out today for some better pictures. Still wasn't the best place for pictures but it works for now. It was nice to see how the car looks slammed. Im kind of stuck on the interior for the last few weeks on what to do. I kind of was thinking of going no audio. Maybe a headunit in the center console and hide some 6.5"s somewhere, and do no subs. So the other route I was thinking was having a polished nitrous tank in the backseat that will be fiberglassed in!. Since I will be shaving the trunk, I need to make a insert panel of some kind on the rear deck area, I made this oval design that will have the car's logo on it in plexi, whats your guys's opinions on that shape? I figured it would be a cleaner look. As far as paint I was thinking of going flat black w/ realistic flames.







I love how this looks (the mirror arear)

no audio? to be honest dude, that set up is crying for a crazy install. You have so much room to play with.

Go center drive!!!

its crazy how long that looks now!!!!! and if i remember correctly, you are planning on molding in the front bumper?

i know the hood would be impossible, but something needs to be done there. perhaps giving it some sort of lip to the hood that would cover the fender line when its closed... just an idea.
with the rest of the car, that line which is normally never noticed (or at leasted mentioned) REALLY sticks out (cuz it'll be the only one left!)

since you asked for opinions, here are a few of my ideas:

1. since youre shaving the trunk, but have air, why not make your bags run off of nitrous? you could have 3-4 n2o tanks and i think that would look pretty cool.

2. you could install the tanks under the back panel (around where the back seat to trunk area would be) and have plexiglass opening at the rounded part near the rear, facing the front and lighted so you could see the tanks.

3. dont leave it flat black! while it may be a hot rod's bastard child, some aspects of the hot rod scene just wont work IMO. i like the realistic flames idea, although a regular black with skulls is always nice too. regardless, you need a paint job that will POP, but not necessarily wild lime greens, yellows, oranges or anything else like that. a blue like on big poppas would look good, esp with flames.

4. i like the shaved wiper cowl. no suggestions there.
good luck with it all.....cant wait to see if finished

i think this is gong to be a sick ass car when complete! i love where its headed.

realistic flames will look amazing, but they dont have to be real colored.

i think a basic base color like white, black, grey, silver ect with a crazy color realistic flames would look sweet.

keep it up man, gonna look hot when your done.

id have to say stay away from the flat black, i know thats the big trend nowadays but it just will kind of mask the work you did, with all the work you put into the body you want it to stand out. doing it flat black willl just hide al the deatil and make it look allot less special. the color it isin now pops and would cause me to come over and look at it.. walking by it in flatblack i'd probably just keep walking thinking its some half down car.

x2 to what he said, with all the custom work you are going with.. you need a big sound system, center drive, and a lot of 3 - 5 inch screens.

kind of looks like a hot tub on wheels.

im speachless....
car looks CRAZY!!

my opinions though:
bigger wheels to fill the wells
crazy audio install, crazy but very smooth and flowing
as for paint, do what you like, but not flat black, somethign smooth like what you have now would really show off all the body work, as opposed to flat or graphics

instead of redoing the interior for the 4th time, work on getting that hood and fender lined up. i know you said you were going to do it but you jump around so much before things are complete

Mike PLEASE fix the hood. You have changed fixed modified so much, and still haven't fixed the hood.

The air ride fits the car very well, but the hood man.

Still love the car either way.

YEah, it does, hell that inspires me to make a suggestion......

Wall off the back seat, seal it up and make a one side person jaccuzzi tub in teh back, fugg the audio.


But on a serious note, do a huge audio/ video install, it is begging for one, dont half azz it now that youve come so far.....
