Awesome. 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.

I like it a lot.

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.

Looking forward to Rob's comments.

Thanks Dale. I agree and the lower front spoiler will help too.

That's the dang thing that set this in motion.

For some reason, it just has a nice ring to it.
Payoff... as in paid someone off to get on the Mod Squad?

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.

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

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.

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.

Are you implying his build planning resembles your trip planning?
