Here's a few photos of another similar car thats been running around the midwest for a few years. They do look good in adriatic blue.

John
Yes, that is the car, and a good picture too.

mosconiac
That is a good looking car and I LOVE the bigblock too. (some people won't be surprised by that)

I love the blue, but there seems to be ALOT of blue cars (maybe because it looks good)

Maybe Roy Pigford thought the same thing when he chose the colors for his Nova. And it looked like it was the right choice...

I just finally took a little time to sit thru all 30 something pages of this build. I am in total awe by you guys at Ironworks. You do things with a tubing bender that blow my mind. Hindsight is always 20-20. The only thing I would have done different is to have increased the wheelbase by rolling the rear wheels back 2" or more. Not because you needed to, but because--given your incredible talents--you could.

As for color, I love the orange Carrera theme. Just stretch the SS out real wide so that it consumes a lot of space. Stretch it to the point that the letters are so wide that they are barely legible as S's No reason why the same theme can't be used with a bright color other than orange. On a car this special, you could paint it ass brown and it will still be cool.

You should post a picture of the guy who works the tubing bender taking a bow. Insane!!

Thanks, I will pass on the compliment. Sean and Brycen have done most of the work on this project. They work very hard.

We just bought a tubing roller to up the anty on some of our next projects. We have some ideas on using the roller that should really blow peoples minds. W started the tubing roller on Johns car, with the tube on the firewall. Then to top it off we just bought Soildworks to start designing a lot of one off parts for projects to be machined. We also bought a bunch of other big tools, that is will be paying on for years to come, Look out.

Thanks again
