Do you have any favorite race cars, car builders or other types/ genres of cars that you can take a page from and combine with your car to make a truly unique build?

As a couple of examples- in a current issue of Hot Rod magazine they featured a Gulf themed first camaro. It was painted in a color combo usually seen on Porsches and Fords. Or a couple of years back they had that "Toyomaro" that was built with the Toyota engine, etc. Like 'em or hate 'em they are not your typical builds, and they stand out. I think Pure Vision/ Steve Strope is very successful at making a lot of cool unique builds with well thought out combinations of different genres, etc.

With the 427 engine you have- imagine what if Shelby had signed with GM and not Ford. What would a Shelby 427 Camaro look like? Or perhaps what would a Pro Touring car built by Smokey Yunick look like? Maybe it's black/ gold similar to the Trans Am camaro he had, and you add your own touches to make it your own car. Maybe there's an old Indy car that you like and can have graphics inspired by, or a bonneville car, etc. Or check out the recently built Hot Wheels '67 Camaro. A toy car brought to life. Perhaps you have a toy or model kit that you've always liked...

Maybe I went too far out in left field, but hopefully this will help get you thinking of something you might like, or help cross out what you don't.

I hope this helps.
