Not sure where we ended on width -- we are mimicking Jake's old 2nd gen for most of those specs

Looking for a Detroit Locker in the 3.64 to 3.70 range.

But it is going to be cool:thumbsup:

A car that goes on the street is a street car to me. Come on up anytime when it's done and we'll go cruising. I will drive this car to work occasionally. And I have a couple sweet roads near my town that I plan to enjoy.

I seem to recall a pretty sweet 2nd gen that nearly won OUSCI that has a dog box and a locker.... hmmm.

Dual purpose anyone? :bitchslap:

Thanks Matt...gettin some attempts at humor in before DG starts trackin this beast of beasts. :unibrow:

Mascoll is great to work with. Really like how this came out. And with the varied wheels, flare shapes, spoiler sizes, and colors, this render project was a needed part of the process to get to completion. Of course the final final rendition in real life may be different... that's the nature of this game. :D

Awesome. :thumbsup: Reminds me of a Mangusta pic you posted earlier. :) Given your driving skills and all the upgrades, it should go as fast as it looks. A definite contender.

Sieg 01-31-2013 02:24 PM

I like it a lot. :thumbsup:

The exhaust in white stands out a little too much for me, but if it's done in stainless the natural patina over time would be purrrrfect. Black anodize the rear spoiler hinge while you're at it. :D

Looking forward to Rob's comments. :whistling:

Exhaust is already white and I like how it (the color) balances with the whites stripe top to bottom, and the black colors balance front to rear. That was my idea anyway and I think it works. I do like the patina idea though.

Oh, and the rear spoiler will be all black. Shawn could only tolerate so many of my changes before just dumping the final render on me as it stood. :D

It's still early in the game and it never hurts to throw stuff at the wall and see what sticks. Again........I LIKE IT! It's a Gunfighter :guns:

THE EXHAUST MATCHES THE STRIPES :bang: NOW DON'T YOU HAVE SOME DOGS TO WALK AND VALVES TO ADJ??:poke:

I'll assume you meant STRIPES? From my perspective there's too much distance between the stripe and exhaust which interrupts the flow of the eye. White flares would be interesting to see, not the look he's going for but interesting. The patina'd stainless exhaust outlet would blend with the rotors. Look at the top rendering angle where the white isn't as prevalent vs the bottom. As said still early and I like where he's going with it..........fits the owner very well IMO. :thumbsup:

Dogs walked at 7:15, valves are fine, truck service and semi-detailed.................:smiley_smack: :action-smiley-027:

srh3trinity 01-31-2013 06:06 PM

The rendering looks great! If you can bring that to life, you will have a real bruiser. What is the 56 car you posted? It looks like a Pantera, but it doesn't have a quarter window and the front bumper is throwing me off. That is a cool car.

carbuff 01-31-2013 07:00 PM

I really like it. My only thought is that the exhaust is so long. Is that proportionally correct? I think if it were a little shorter in actuality that it wouldn't be so distracting.

My car is going to end up looking very similar to this, depending on the wheel selection at the end of the day!

I welcome all these comments for the record. I had thought about the white flares but that's a little too much and I don't like blue, white, and black all converging at the tire. Never did like that many colors there. I just cant bring myself to do black everything with the blue. To me it's like pinstripes.... no thanks. Not for me. Go big or go home.

I think the blue, black and white are just the right sizes and distances from each other. But who knows... maybe it will look like crap in person. :D

Thanks man... that is a 1970 Detomaso Mangusta and it was for sale last I knew for $175k.

Thanks Bryan. The exhaust is actually pretty close to the actual proportion. It's a big mo-fo.

Ha. I noticed that. You can thank me for getting him to add and move the braces on the front spoiler. :unibrow:

Are you getting his standard Streetfighter spoilers then?

Hugger67RSSS 01-31-2013 07:40 PM

Yea I talked to Jake tonight, he told me what you were doing. My front valance is carbon too so I'm scared to have the spoiler lower for that reason. Your right they look much better in the rendering than the first time around. I made those same comments. Glad to see some progress I've been watching for a while and hoping you have some good luck with the motor deal

89 RS 01-31-2013 08:08 PM

That rendering is sweet, the end result is going to be awesome. :thumbsup:

Yeah we went over that too about the drivability with it TOO low... so he's just adding an inch or so I believe. Still will have to be careful. I don't blame ya with the carbon front.

You got nice taste over there. :D :thumbsup:

Your track car (pro touring car of the future) was an integral part of my inspiration file actually. :lostmarbles:

Geeze Scott :_paranoid

Now I have to publicly admit I love the look of the car and DGs overall vision of his project before he drops me in the grease.

Sure if he wasn't such a D.A. he would already have a nasty SB2 ready to drop in it; he'll get there soon. I hope by build # three he'll have this stuff figured out:lmao:

So I dig the stance.:thumbsup:
I'm amped about something different on a Camaro that doesn't destroy the original lines of the car and I think the riveted/bolted on flares accomplish that to a T. It's all business with some race heritage so what's not to like. :D

The stripes :headscratch: Well hmmm :whistling: Uh welll.....

I F'ing hate them, Yea I said it :lol: Hate them as I do Eleanors. JMO

But DG loves the stripes and it's his car so that's what matters. Maybe he only loves them cuz he's stuck with them but he's stuck on them. Because he loves them; I feel I have to find a way to accept them. He's obviously a closet Mustang guy.

With the high strung SB2, the wide JRS front track and big rubber, dog box and other goodies this should be one hell of a track car and a really uncomfortable and sucky street car.:D

You have to choose what you want to suck at so you can focus on excelling in other areas. :action-smiley-027:
