Yes it is a little off topic...but this is home on the website for me.

This is a car a few buddies and I knocked out in basecoat for a friend.

That's awesome. Nice to see people being different.

PHOENIX · 06-17-2004, 01:38 AM

Very nice, great job.
Can we get some more pics of it, maybe the interior?
Do I see some autometer gauges on that dash?
I think some different wheels would do wonders for the car.

87 Shortwide · 06-17-2004, 01:43 AM

interior is stock except for some guages...nothing special. It needs some ralleys IMO to follow the old skool look. Here in a few days I will pinstripe the flames in bright silver and I am thinkin about striping the tailgate and painting the VonDutch flying eyeball on it. As you can tell I am into the oldskool style...

Ric83 · 06-17-2004, 08:34 AM

That looks sweet. Me likes!! Good to see something that stands out from the crowd.

bluex · 06-17-2004, 08:41 AM

Ya, definately needs some rallys then it would be pimp! When I get done with the truck I keep telling the wife I'm gonna build her a wagon. She thinks I'm nuts.

Russell · 06-17-2004, 10:01 AM

I love that paintjob, looks awesome!

Izzy · 06-17-2004, 10:31 AM

busterwivell · 06-17-2004, 11:35 AM

dubie · 06-17-2004, 02:01 PM

67sub · 06-17-2004, 02:31 PM

Looks Good

apstguy · 06-17-2004, 03:26 PM

She's a beauty.

68 Suburban · 06-17-2004, 03:55 PM

Looks very nice. I would suggest black head screws for the tail lights

Tx Firefighter · 06-17-2004, 04:52 PM

fog some rattle can black paint onto the gas tank to hide the overspray.

And, like the guy with good eyes said, paint the tailight screws black.

By the way, your car rules. At least it's not a red Camaro. Something different is nice.

FRENCHBLUE72 · 06-17-2004, 04:54 PM

Those are some trick looking flames...

Stingray42 · 06-17-2004, 05:38 PM

my vote is for steelies in red too!
