Sawwwweeettttttt

That looks really nice. Does he sell any of his drawings? I would love to have some more wall art.

Just a note, I changed the image, this is the most up to date version. :thumbsup:

rendering
 

thanks alot, that is the final rendering and car will duplicate the art work, the stripe main color and wheel color may vary, but will be very close to what is pictured in art work.
I am glad some of you guys like it, thanks alot :thumbsup:
jake

I'm diggin it. I really like the lower valence treatment.

I Love It!

Looks sweet.... :hail: :bow:

looooks awsome
Dont you love Big Blocks!! :thumbsup:

First there was "Body by Jake" now there's "Camaro by Jake". I gotta say other than a few suggestions the car was really designed by Jake. He has a pretty clear vision of what he wants his car to be and it shows. A Street Fighter in the making. One of my favorite details is the eye brow stripes. This was also a detail that Jake wanted from the beginning I just interpreted it and helped develop it. I look forward to seeing this car come to life in the flesh, eer, steel I mean!

Darned fine work, Johnny. Now that you're done with this one, can I get some lovin'!?

Jake's car should be a really cool machine, I think he has a terrific plan for it, and the appearance scheme that the two of you settled on is perfect, just right.

That is soooooooo freaking bad-ass.. very nice.. I think that gives Penny a run for her money in the "angry looking" car competition.. lol

How ya gonna pull off that front spoiler? I really like it.. hell, I like the whole thing.

Is there a pic of the real car "under construction"?? :)

steve
 

lol, thanks, yes scott will be helping me put up a page for progress pics, most all fab work is done, car is on its wheels getting bodywork, roll bar and mock up, .
motor is done and being asembled this week, tranny is here, rear susp is done, front frame is primed, hope to have motor on dyno by end of month, then paint in first week of may, then assembly, which should go somewhat smoothly as everything will be assembled once before paint, well everything i can possibly do.
anyway i have plenty of pics of construction, but it will be more photo genic in a week or so when its all one color in primer.
jake

Hum, wonder what that means?

I have been holding a secret on this one for a while. Jake honored me in sharing renderings, and further honored me in asking my opinion a few weeks ago. He had it nailed, really did not need any input from me. Looks killer. Can't wait to get some shots of this one and Prodigy on the Power Tour! Damn there are going to be some baddass cars in our group. Now get to work Jake, and quite waiting for the next post!

Looks awesome Jake!! Nice work John!! :thumbsup: Black seems to be the color of choice at the moment around here!

Looks bada$$ Jake! :thumbsup:

Perfect! :yes:

thanks
 

thanks guys, glad everyone likes it, steve c helped alot with it also, i think it really came out killer and i am in the process of making the car follow that line.
thanks again
jake

Love the car, love the graphic and love the front spoiler..did I mention that i love the car?

I may try and steal the design of that front spoiler...

It is getting harder and harder to keep up with the Jones'...and everyone else on this site. Sheeez

Can;t wait to see the build pics

That looks awesome. Love the colors!
