Have you thought of a candy dark cherry? You'd get the sleek black look with the red undertones.

im not very good at photoshop but this is kinda what i want...im not sure about the vinyl roof though....



oh and i put the front of a camaro on there just cause i wanted to see how it would look...ill have to photoshop the proper front back on

[TRILOGYZ28]

mine will definetly have a black vinyl top on it. everybody else discards the vinyl top and i want to bring it back.

[Young Gun]

this is it with the nova front...comments? suggesetions?

[69TAPoser]

I like it. The only thing I would be concerned about is ending up with a "Starsky and Hutch" look to the stripe. How about breaking the stripe up into blocks in the front or the rear? Something like this...?

[Young Gun]

thats sick...yah i was thinkin something that would follow the curve along the lines...im just not good enough at photoshop to do something like that...but i have to agree it was too starsky and hutch

ok so i have not updated this in almost 4 months...but here is where we are at...

having spoken to the body man its looking like its gonna be expensive...close to 20k is the best estimate ive gotten out of all the reputable shops within 100 miles that i know about, it appeared that there was a little more work than we had anticipated so it came up being about twice as much as we had planned on...my dad an I are spending extra time working on welding trying to get to a point where we will be comfortable doing the body work ourselves and not having it fall apart driving down the road...so right now we hoping to start the actual body work within a two month timeframe...any ways i will post up pictures as soon as i get a chance

[muthstryker]

wow, what do the shops charge an hour? i was quoted 15k to get all the body work done and ready for paint..

[Young Gun]

well that is also the installation of a quadralink and minitubs...and yah it would be all prepped for paint
