Paint scheme idea.

[TonyL]

and here it is.


color changed. back fin painted black. mirror removed. interior mirror blacked out. rollbar painted blue to match car. door handle and lock shaved. Numbers removed. exaust removed. car lowered another inch. Ultima GTR wheels added. grille blacked out. window trim blacked out. Silver stripe added. fattend the back tires up a bit.

and a cherry on top.



Oh, and do I think the trunk fin and taillamp panel should also be black.
Positively. It'll carry that sinister look you want all over the car, from every angle.

Hmm, so does the silver stripe straddle the crease at the tops of the fenders, does it hang off to the outside, or sit on the inside of the crease? Also, does it end at the top corner of the grille opening and taillight panel or wrap around? Maybe Kris could comment.

I'm still thinking of color choices and since i haven't started the resto, there will be lots of time to think.. After reading the threads i got back to uing the same colors as now, but with painted roof instead of the vinyl top, which i don't like
The problem is, that if i paint the whole car white, it won't look as "mean" as i think it does now

How about a white with som kind of effect, black rally stripes and blackpainted roof on this one?


Also considering a blue or black with silver stripes

take a look at my Montery Historics photo thread. Some great paint schemes on the old Trans-Am cars based in white. I have always really liked the Lennox car.

I think this will give you some idea of the end result... I found it while surfing ebay the other day, and am considering something similiar for my 68.

Nice, were there any other views?

I still get the chills every time I look at this:



Thanks a ton Tony. It really helps to have a visual of where I am headed.

I do think I'm gonna go with the Team III minilite replica wheel though.

Once I get back from Italy in May (as a married guy ) I'll be able to get crackin!

Its not EXACTLY what your wanting, but I think this looks hot. (I know the wheels are 4 lug, didnt feel like converting them)

man Tony, you are damn good at choping! I got Photoshop CS from my brother, but I can't do s**t! I have only been able to lower it and a few CRUDE wheel swaps on my car. Havn't figured out how to do color changes yet. Here is the best I have done so far.

Trace the car out with the "Polygonal lasso tool", click Image, drag to Adjustments, drag to "Hues/Saturation", select "Colorize". That'll get you to the ballpark of the color you want.
