Sure, I always like to see ideas. Let's see the pics.

I'm still debating the black trim and dark "murdered" theme.... debating a lot of things still I guess!

It needs something....not sure what. Probably should just keep my big yapper shut at this point.

I started staring at your car and trying to visualize things and decided I better quit.

It's a killer car and I would have your rendering modded before changing anything. I'll leave it at that for now.

In all seriousness, I do welcome opinions and ideas.

I have considered going back and messing with the renderings, but I might just wing it on a few of the final things.

Thanks dude.

Looks good on that car, but I'm thinking more like not carry the stripe all the way to the nose. Just stop at where the cowl "merges" back into the hood. I had a pic of one saved but can't seem to find it now....

Here was my original inspiration, even before Penny, for the car...

I like the look/feel of that RoadRunner......a Chevy influenced by a Mopar? Now that's an uncommon scenario, but I like it!

Yup, that is Steve Strope's "Hammer" and I got the paint code from him too.

On some things like trim, wheel finishes, etc., I can just look at all the pics of that car and see how it works.
