Rendering looks sweet Dave, Shawn had lots of practice with those spoilers doing yours and mine at the same time.

Thanks.. I think that's a given.

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.

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

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.

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

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

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

Thanks!

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

Are you getting his standard Streetfighter spoilers then?

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

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

It'd really be kool if it was yellow with grey stripes... and had a fastback roof line...

that's going to be awesome Dave.

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.

Ya know, I got part of that right (roof stripes!)

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

Thanks Boss. If the car looks 2/3 as good as the render, I'll be pretty happy.

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

So I dig the stance.
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.

The stripes Well hmmm Uh welll.....

I F'ing hate them, Yea I said it 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.

You have to choose what you want to suck at so you can focus on excelling in other areas.
