Mali2ude went to paint today
 

Luckily for me Jim Ramirez is going to bail me out. :thumbsup: He painted this car which later became Incinerator, the eight-turbo 57 convertible.

I wrapped the entire suspension, frame, rear-end, etc. in cellophane to prevent overspray............. :faint:

Jody, those wheels are sick!! I wouldn't change a thing.....:rofl:

Seriously...good luck with the color! Can't wait to see it!

thanks guys.

Jody

thanks Chris.

Guess I missed it, but what was ever decided on for the color and wheels? Either way I'm sure it's gonna look killer.

the darker color (diamond graphite Infiniti) with the 5 spokes for now, and likely the 10 spoke charcoal Forgelines if I can save enough pennies before Power Tour.

Good for you, Jody - you have to be completely jazzed right now. We all are looking forward to seeing the outcome! BTW - both wheels look cool, but the Forgelines are my favorite. Especially seeing what's under the hood.

thanks Kevin. Actually, when I dropped it off at Jim's today he mentioned that he was in a SEMA video, and I figured out it was one of yours!

he's about 1 minute in, at the back of the car checking out the paint; dark hair, glasses, moustache/goatee.

Jody

Congrats Jody! This is obviously a major step. I think I still like both wheels equally but for different reasons. It's tough to beat a well proportioned 5 spoke for having a classic bruiser look. On the other hand, the high tech multi-spokes give it an elegant racer look especially with the graphite paint. You really can't go wrong IMO.

That's great news, Jody. Now we know it'll actually get done. I can't wait to see the finished product. I'll absolutely make a special trip out there just for that.

Congrats. Can't wait to see your car finsihed. It's gonna be a show stopper.

That's great news!!

cudo's on going to paint.

the car is going to look awesome.

like the web spoked wheels

Good luck Jody!

Good Luck with the paint, it will be a cool car.

Jan

Congrats the car is going to look killer. :thumbsup:

Nice! Jody.
I agree with KO.
But on my TT 67 Ford, I'm sticking with the 5 spokes due to budget.

Glad Jim was able to make it happen for you Jody. Car is going to look killer that color. I just may have to see how that color looks on the car cause you know I'm knocking on the door...I'm next in line at Jim's!!


Brent

Brent that's GREAT news!! Must be the year for paint around here!! :cheers:

It's about time, Jody. Keep us updated.

That's going to look killer. Can't wait to see it. I got to get over to your house soon it looks like. :yes:

Looking good Jody, whatever happened to your '69 Camaro that you were building, who owns it now?:)

Pascual Marquez, Marquez Design

Thanks, I was really looking forward to seeing that car done:yes: is the engine in Mali2ude the one from the Camaro?

no, that was a twin turbo LT1, this is a twin turbo LS2

You know, if you wouldn't have started with such a beater you wouldn't of had to rebuild the whole car.. :rofl:

Then again, I should talk... The car is going to be killer in that color.. keep us updated.

Love the color. Was a little apprehensive off the cream. I think this is much better.

Congratulations. I have seen that 57 and it looks killer. Sounds like it is in capable hands.

So now what do you do for the next few weeks? Family time?

Congrats Jody, love the color choice and both wheel designs. Great idea on wrapping your frame to prevent overspray. :thumbsup:

yeah, family and house projects.

Jody

Looks great Jody...Bet you're stoked.

What did you do for the belly of the car? Body color? Black? Bedliner material or ???

Will the firewall be body color, matte black or ??? -Rob

It's a race! Kurt, are you reading this? :D :lol:

Seriously though, I'm stoked for you. I can't wait to roll on the Power Tour side by side. :cheers:

no race, just want them done! :D I can't wait for Power Tour.

Jody

Congrats Jody. Going to be a VERY cool car. Can't wait. Love the new spelling.:thumbsup:

Scott gets the credit for that. Malitude version 2.0 = Mali2ude

Jody

Congrats!.....Car looks great behind the new truck!:thumbsup:

love the truck, and happy to support GM! You've got mail!

Jody

Not to be picky, but wouldn't that be "Mali - too - ude" ?

Of course, I get people asking me what "Eye Eye Much" means. :)
