Copying is the bext form of flattery?
Anyone out there ever find a car that was painted EXACTLY like yours and yours isnt somethng anyone would just up and paint?
A few years back my wife got me a DUB CITY toy which is the exact rendition of my 56 Chevy- right down to the ghost flames.
I mean- not everyone paints their cars purple with blue flames and silver ghost flames? Ya know?
Kinda freaky.

I wouldnt necessarily say that cause my car plan was thought up a while back and then I see the roadster shops car and its like what I planned except orange and not charcoal silver. I had not seen their car until it was plasstered all over the web and on magazine covers and then I just sat there and was F%^K!! what do I do now?!?!

You're right, that is spot on from what I can see. I would be flattered. Did you contact them anyway? Would be interesting to hear their response if you even got one - but that's a neat deal, unless YOU painted the DUB. lol j/k. ;)

Actually about 2 years before my wife had emailed them (and they were only in Japan or China at that time) and sent them a picture of the car saying something like 'how come you have never done a 56 Chevy-everyone does 57s' Originally Posted by Tony_SS
