Ron,

I really, really love the green. But you know I am a little weird...LOL

silly question, who is that guys and where can i see his renderings?

[Ron S]

Its funny, when I look at that rendering it is so exaggerated it looks like a cartoon. I know it was made from a photo of my car, the gas tank vent welded in the bottom of the tail panel, and gas tank filler behind the back window are a dead giveaway.

Here is the guys web site, he does have some cool stuff on there. Suprised when I found my car there

Was looking for some pics of striping for my car, and look what I found. Scroll down a bit

Dang...Ron, I like all three color combos!....that guy does good work!

[parsonsj]

I didn't see any options incorporating the primer rear.. did I miss it?

[Ron S]

Sure John twist the knife.lol
I wish the guy would have given me a front view also, I really like the triple stripe, but think it might look goofy from the front, especially with the cowl hood.

Awesome build Ron! i read the whole thread.. haha took me 3 days but im up to date now.. how far are you from ocean city?

That guy has some really nice renderings on the site. I like the idea of putting some stripes on the car. Keeps it interesting.

Right, like it ever got dull ha ha!!

Hey Ron,



Why don't you send the guy an email and ask him to do a front view for you? I just sent him an email about my project and he was very nice. I'm sure he would do that for you. You know he works with actual pictures and just tweaks them. I'm sure you will have to pick out a front view picture of your car and send it to him to work with.

Just a suggestion...

BTW, I also vote for silver or black stripes with your shade of blue. I don't think white would look as good with the "grabber blue" as it does with the "guardsman blue"...

I think I will, the guy does have good taste after all.LOL

Subtle Ron LOL ;-)... Seriously though the renderings do look good and I'd love to see what your car specific would look like (with the tripe stripe or other wise) buddy... You know it's already my one of my favorite PT cars out there and I think it would be cool to see what he came up with...

[Rybar]

I like the original color combos/striping he did much better than the green. The green/yellow looks like a Lotus...

[irregal83]

Im going to be in Ocean City on the 27th and would love to check out the car if thats possible

[454bug]

I looked around and here are some color combinations.

First the black stripes:














and a combination of black and white:


Second for the white stripes:






I'm not a fan of the red...








I couldn't find much with Grabber Blue with Silver stripes:


This isn't Grabber Blue but it has nice Silver stripes:

If all else fails, you could always go with something like this:

[Ron S]

Thanks Ray, if I could get those spoke wheeels to clear my big brakes, I'd run the last one(SWEET) . Crazy how we agonize over this stuff,thanks again. Ron

[Bjkadron]

I vote for the white.. It just looks better in my opinion. But then, that last one...

[Viperlover]

I'd like to see white done like one of the first two black pictures. That is the best style stripe IMO.

[RicerwannaB]

2nd of 4th Photo get my vote! Anyway you do it tho, the car is going to look great. Hell, it still looks great even in primer!

[SickSpeedMonte]

I'm in Harford Co., about 2 hours from O.C.

Ever go to the Lowes show? Think you'll go tonight? I'd love to check this car out in person!!
