Candy yellow with sliver stripes and a billet grille....

That way when parked next to my 68 they will be a matching pair !!!!

Honestly all those combos rendered above look amazing.....

I'll tell you one thing, your SS (hockey stripe) is much better than the ones I've seen that are forced below that side marker and have an awkward shape.

The one thing I see with doing a Black with white stripe is the contrast, it becomes very graphic. Maybe a 15-20% gray or something...I dunno. I'm working on some 2010 Camaro stuff right now also.

Yeah I know Ben...they do get to crazy looking then all they offer up is that they look different with black and white. "Purple and yellow polka dot crap is different but it's still crap" That's a quote from Steve Moye my automotive styling instructor back in college. I remember him saying that to the guy behind me LOL! I almost lost it when I heard it but true.

I remember Dennis asking me about the side stripe that I would need to draw on the Nickey Camaro. We talked about the existing one that we've seen on the GM concepts. I said to him "We're not doing anything like that stripe, to me it looks like a big PORK CHOP or side burns on the sides of the new Camaro...." They look hideous in my honest opinion. Again with the "different". See quote above.

I went with what you see on the current drawing. I had already sketched that stripe like that when I did the 5th Gen Camaro rendering what-ifs for PHR magazine and everybody thought they looked good and clean. So I stuck with that on the Nickey car. I will be helping Stefano and Dennis do the final 1:1 side stripe graphic artwork for their production cars. I can't wait to see one done!

Great work John....
IMO, its a toss-up between the Black/Red and the Silver/Red.

We do have a Black with White and Black houndstooth Stage II on order right now. It will be one of the first few built.

If we go with a Bowtie on the Grill, should it be Gold / color as standard or Blue for a retro styling que?

BTW, Great work John!

That's a very important point John regarding "different" stripes. I learned that very early while working at my ID job. Change for change sake is bad. Change that not only works but also enhances the design is good.

Love the hound's tooth interior idea!!!!

Blue bowtie sounds cool and will be appreciated by a lot of the market you guys seem to be targeting.

Houndstooth interior is going to look AWESOME!!!
I would go with the "old-school" bowtie on the grill.:thumbsup:

i think the blue bowtie looks way better

I like the blue bowtie idea too!!! It keeps it's an easy change to make and it'd be the stock grill but the diehards would pick up on it and appreciate those kinds of "little" touches. Here's a couple more I emailed over to the guys.

Black with White Stripes and Red Jewel Metallic with White Stripes
