Thank you everyone for the positive feedback. For about 6 years I was just planning straight silver. Then I heard of the Mule and now I see more and more members going silver. So then I decided to paint flames down the entire car but didnt want to take away from the sexy body lines of the 69 Camaro. So like always I wanted to do something different so I went with the 2 tone.
I will try to answer some of the random questions.

race-rodz,
T/y for the compliment and if you could find that color it would be greatly appreciated because thats the color we want for my GF 67 Mustang Coupe.

rockdogz,
Yes the 4" cowl is staying for sure because almost everyone else is running the 2" cowl.
I want to keep the Illusion on the side but it will be straight pearl orange meaning it will be basically invisible. Not bold like the crappy photoshop.

Roger Poirier,
I want the Viper silver 100%. Keep in mind that is a crappy photoshop I did so it doesnt look right at all.

Ricochet,
T/y for the compliment.

yodester,
I would really like to try and keep the name but it will only be in pearl so it will be almost invisible. I just want to do something different to help set my car apart from the rest.
The Illusion is many different things but mainly because it looks like an old 69 camaro but will be eventually equiped with as many modern products as possible including the 4th gen interior. Remember, I was the first to put this entire interior into a 69 Camaro. Now its becoming more and more common.

Kris,
You are by far one of the most inspiring artists with your car renderings. I think my girlfriend is tired of hearing me say "Damn look at Kris' work, he is god with those renders" lol
If only I could afford the software..
I will get ahold of you and would be more than honored to have a render to duplicate my car. :thumbsup:

Thanks again everyone for the feedback. I know it wont make everyone happy but at least its not just straight silver like I was planning. Its not easy creating a design for a 69 Camaro without destroying the sexy body lines. :)

Deleted pic to avoid confusion.

Nice
 

Hey Adam, when I first seen it, without reading, Duh? I thought you were going with a flat black with a flat orange and the OH so famous gray primer.

But I think you made a good choice. :thumbsup:

Hi camaroboy, just a thought here, it seems like you're stuck on putting the name on the sides, one thing to be careful of though, normally "ghost" images be they flames, graphics or lettering, always work best over dark colours, as the darkness hides the image 'til the sun hits it & then it pops! With a very light base like the silver, you'll have a very hard job to make it work as you'd like. Yes you can apply maybe 1 or 2 coats of pearl over the silver, but it will ALWAYS be visible, even from a distance. The downside is that if it's 1 or 2 light coats it'll look like a blemish on the paint & it'll look like the paints a different colour in one patch, 'til you get close enough to read it. More coats than that & it'll be visible all of the time, which may not be what you want.

To be honest I'm not too sure about the cowl hood. To me it smacks of drag racing ( I thought it was a drag car when I first came on the forum , sorry). I think the whole cowl induction thing has been done to death now, all sorts of drag orientated cars are running them, not just GM products, plus the 4" one will really date the car shortly. Sometimes less is more, it'd look much more sleek & classy with something like an SS hood if you could fit one & would certainly lend itself far better to the overall look you're trying to achieve. But again, it's down to personal preferances & I can't wait to see some pics of the finished article :thumbsup:

Andrew....looks great, bro. :thumbsup:

The two-tone rocks. I actually like the idea of doing the word 'Illusion' in ghost lettering although I wouldn't make it any bigger than an inch and a half in height. Looks killer. I can't wait to see Horten's take on it.

That looks real nice!:thumbsup:

I like the 4" also. Looks mean! Check out PHR Penny Camaro. I believe in order to make the car look right you may have to change to a different set of rims that flow better with the paint scheme. Thats where Kris comes in again. Have him or any other person that does 3-D drawings.

I hired an artist to do my rendering before I knew of Kris. Every time I changed something the artist had to draw it over again. I spent a lot more money then what Kris charges. Small price to pay to get the complete look you are after. Money very well spent.

Very nice! :)
