Either way, awesome looking ride!

I may have to end up doing the cowl hood in addition to the flat one to keep her happy. We'll see how it goes.
It was Ben who made it look so good, I just had some ideas. But the two tone and red stripe was all Ben. He suprised me with it and it stuck. That is why guys like him , Jason R, Carter and all the rest are so good at what they do. I just don't have the "vision" required to do it right. You should have heard the "piping vs mullet" conversation me and Jason had at the Googuys BBQ. Good thing I'm not a designer is all I can say!

Thanks Jason!!

I say cowl and baby spoiler... or flat with no spoiler.
But I prefer the cowl/spoiler version fwiw!

How about baby spoiler, no cowl, no front lower spoiler either?
I think if it had the cowl hood, a front spoiler would look ok.
Tony Rose brought up a good point at the GG show last weekend, that the second gens look good with no front spoiler, and with a baby rear spoiler.
But that if the car has the large three piece rear, then a front spolier looks good on it too. I have to agree. I saw both at the show and it made a big difference in person.
I think the cowl hood also looks better with the front spoiler, it helps balance out the fron end a bit. IMO.

Confused yet?

YES!! Now hurry up and get cranking on it so we can see it right here -- and then we can all comment on how we might have done it "better/different/more/less" etc....

A LITTLE!!! lol

Just kidding bud. Either way it's gonna be bad ass. But, I still like the cowl hood and chin spoiler. Adds "character"!!

I honestly think it looks good with the cowl hood. But the flat one looks even better to me.
It's been hovering around the tripple digit temps here this week. Not much going on in the garage.

The design is done, the hood and spoiler will work out either way. Time to get my hands dirty again. Now I know what I am shooting for so it's easier to move forward.
I have the drivetrain, suspension,brakes, cooling and fuel systems, interior and pretty much all the little details planed out. Some may change along the way, but I am at a point where I can start making good progress now.

The car should be going back to media blasting in the next couple of weeks (to be done right this time). The exterior had been done before I got it. But they left the interior and drivetrain in. That is all out now. The sub frame is coming off and going to be stripped of parts. Then it can all go get blasted.

Slight change in the paint. I have seen a couple other cars with similar paint jobs to the one I had decided on. I really wanted to go with it but at the same time want my own car, not a duplicate of someone elses. So after bugging Ben some more (and thank you Ben for being so patinet with me

) he came up with a little different design/color combo.

The main body color is the same dark grey as Tony Rose is doing on Karma and the center stripe is black with a red divider stripe. The red is carried to the wheels and will also be in the interior in a few small places to tie it all together.
I think having the Rushforth wheels with black centers and tinted windows will look great with the black center stripe. I can't wait!!

That should make Tony happy since you live in the same area.

The darker color was his(Tonys) idea in the original design. He sent me a pic of a Ferrari with it ( It's a factory color ) and thought it would look good incorporated into the silver theme somehow, just to break up the base a bit. I really like the color and wanted to keep it so I asked Ben to swap body and stripe colors around, this is what he came up with. Ben is great to work with.
The whole thoughts about color started at the GG show up here when I saw a first gen with pretty much the same color scheme (silver base/grey center stripe) then right after that saw the second gen from the Anvil site with a very similar paint job.
With as much time and effort I am putting into this car, I'd like it to be a little more unique and not "one of three" if that makes sense.
