I've been lucky and Anthony has shared some of his ideas for the new paint with me. I think it's a fitting change and a good way to shake off any bad mojo left over from all of the B.S. he's gone through. It's all good from here on out!

:captain:

Only 8 times! :lol:

Thanks for your input on the new design! It's always good to have help!! :cheers:

Wow I've become good help...lol. Seems kind of odd that not to long ago it was you teaching me all about this stuff.

Thanks for considering my suggestions. Now I just need all new ideas for painting my car. LMAO! ;)

98ssnova 10-02-2008 05:50 PM

Congrats Tony on getting your car cleaned up. And Curtis you need to call me out HAHA. :cheers:

SteveMcqueenRules 10-02-2008 08:56 PM

Geez I wonder how much bondo is on that thing? If the quality of the paint is any indication there is a ton.

Flash68 10-02-2008 09:12 PM

Anthony, that thing is gonna be money when it's finished.

Excited to see your new rendering and color choice. :)

zbugger 10-02-2008 09:23 PM

I can't wait to see what you've come up with, Anthony. And I hope you're happy with the car this time. I know it's in great hands, and I hope to see it one day as well.

awr68 10-02-2008 09:33 PM

Carter has been working around the clock on this...what a guy! So here it is...the new look!! :unibrow:

Spiffav8 10-02-2008 09:37 PM

WICKED!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!:unibrow:

I just don't have the words to describe how much I like it!

Carter does such amazing work. Guys got mad skills!

aany001 10-02-2008 09:43 PM

holy crap I just read this whole thread and I am speechless!!!! Tony I wish you all the best and Im lovin that new look. that thing is gonna look sick bro !!!!!!!!!!:thumbsup:

Vegas69 10-02-2008 09:46 PM

It's hot dude....the rendering is ridiculous. Love the blacked out rear, wheels, stripe needs some work in my humble opinion. Seems out of proportion.

96z28ss 10-02-2008 09:48 PM

It just looks so much better now.

I can just picture our cars going down the freeway together someday.
although your alot further along than i am.

zbugger 10-02-2008 10:00 PM

Wow. That looks great, Anthony. I'm already jealous. I just want to see you behind the wheel now.

fleet 10-02-2008 10:15 PM

Carter, can you improve a humans appearance as much as Tony's car? :lol:

skatinjay27 10-02-2008 10:24 PM

carter's got you wheels on backwards!!! LOL
better switch those tires around before you drive it hahaha
what color is it? is the real deal gonna have some metalic in it?

Good eye Aj. I never would have noticed that.

Yes, it will have some metallic in it.

Wow, quite the change! Looks rad.

What's the paint color you decided to go with? Looks very similar to my BMW color in that render.

evilzee28 10-02-2008 10:50 PM

WOW!! that rendering is sooooo good, it looks like a photo!:hail: I really thought it was! that car's gonna look well trick with that look.:thumbsup:

awr68 10-02-2008 10:51 PM

Thanks for the kind words guys! When designing a car you never know how it will be received!

The color is Ferrari Grigio Silverstone (thanks Dan!)....stunning color in person and Carter really nailed the hue!

That looks bad ass, but I was expecting much lighter and more silver looking by what you were telling me earlier. That being said, I like the darker greys a lot! Looks sweet.

The color does lighten up a bit in direct sunlight...but in general is quite a bit darker than most silvers. All in all it's just what I wanted!

Hopefully we can put ours side by side one of these days man. I might have to take a road trip up to Portland next year and see my family.... if my car is done. :lol:

awr68 10-02-2008 11:10 PM

Sounds like a plan!! Your's will be finished!!

Flash68 10-02-2008 11:12 PM

I know. I have come to have a pretty good attitude about it. But I did just go up and see it yesterday. I need to go post pics now and update my thread. It's been awhile!

awr68 10-02-2008 11:14 PM

Yeah we need an update! PM me and let me know how the trip went!

CarterHickmanDesigns 10-03-2008 05:12 AM

!?#?@?!$?#$?#$@ tread!!!!!! my brain is turning to mush! Anthony I will get that tire tread fixed and get an update to you. Unless you just want to drive around in reverse the whole time?

Carter

jy211 10-03-2008 05:21 AM

nice work as usual Carter. Good choice on color....:thumbsup:

jimhamptons 10-03-2008 05:45 AM

Awesome color! That rendering is badass, Carter sure has some skills!

GeoffP 10-03-2008 06:15 AM

That just became my new desktop image at work. :) Very cool! I'm curious, why the change from blue? That blue was a really cool color too.

Cool Geoff! :thumbsup:

The blue was a cool color, but we needed a fresh start this time with a new look! And since the car needs a total repaint this was an option....so I took it!!

That looks incredible! I love it. Ofcourse I'm a little bias. I had a 68 that was Ferrari Titanium. I don't know if it's the same color but it's close. I don't think I've ever posted a pic of that car since I don't own it anymore but here you go. Unfortunately these pics don't do the color any justice. I got tons of compliments on the color and you'll be sick of telling people what it is in a hurry.:thumbsup:

mdprovee 10-03-2008 07:00 AM

Tony, great new direction.

awr68 10-03-2008 07:07 AM

Nice car Jeff!

They are two differant colors, the Titanium is a little lighter and a little more blue....great color as you know, and I read on a message board that it's becoming real popular again.

awr68 10-03-2008 07:19 AM

In case you guys are wondering who U.S. Collision is (at the bottom of the rendering) that is Mario's (DOOM) business and since he is covering the material bill I wanted him on there as well!

We all know Pete and comp-spec...kick ass what you are doing Pete! You guys like his new logo...I think it's killer!!

And the L-g.net logo is there to thank all the rest who have helped!

Thanks big time everyone!! :bow: :lateral:
