Well this weekend was a bust! Between family time yesterday and dinner with friends, I never even sat foot in the shop. And today got some rest, and then a buddy called wanting to go try out his new boat. So we dropped in the family pond and fished from 3 till 8. Managed to land a few 2 poud large mouths, and I hooked a monster the broke the line a few foot from the boat. Oh wel enough fish stories. I'll be back on it hard this week

Ben Hermance is doing the rendering for the car. And being the guy he is gave me a sneak peek of it and I thought I would share.He also teased me with a few other color selections, that made the decision to go green even harder

The final color

not knockin' the green, cuz I like green and it looks good in the rendering, but...

oddly enough IMO the red looks great with the overall shape/features on the car to me... and keep in mind I don't typically like red cars so that is saying something. There is just something to the shape that makes the green look slightly "bloated" whereas the red somehow tones it down (why doesn't that work with dresses?? Gotta be a skinny chick if she is wearing red...)

first glance, gut shot the red really caught my eye, so without over-analyzing it I would consider red.

All four look great to me actually (blue my least favorite) so I can see why you are having a hard choice. Isn't it great to have some a-hole like me come in and throw a monkey wrench into your already noted, "...that made the decision to go green even harder" :unibrow:

The copper color looks good too, but WAY too many cars are being painted copper lately - it is almost dare to be different to stay with a color like red, green, orange these days hahaha. (i.e. Bad Penny looks awesome and I saw it at SEMA, but last year there were at least 15 other copper colored cars at that show)

This is an easy answer just look at that rear quarter!
"Just like Henry Ford said you can have it in any color as long as its black"
With those wheels shwinggggggggg

Anything new? pics? ...just wondering. very cool project.

Green all the way! It's so nostalgic of the crazy muscle car colors that Dodge used back in the day. The color could be your carryover from the old to the modern.

waynieZ 08-02-2008 08:12 PM

I like them all but the orange is my favorite. Nice progress

I got a long way to go. the car has been on hold for about 60 days while I dealt with some things. I'm looking forward to starting again this week.

fletcherscustoms 10-06-2008 10:10 AM

well work has began again. Front suspension is mocked and ready for the new chassis. Waiting on FRank at Prodigy to get me my brakes and rear and it'll be full speed ahead.

Sounds great! Look forward to some pics!

Are you happy with the 345/25/20 tire choice? My 71 cuda project may use the same rear tire. Just wondering if it looks right for our e-body projects. A lot of people are pushing me towards or recommending the 335/30/20 Michilen PS2. Current and future pics of your car should help me with my decision. Thanks.
