How about some of the new Testors green on top half and the sparkly white on the bottom half? Nice, sparkly, smooth and cool! Just a thought.

James W Posted January 31, 2009 Share Posted January 31, 2009 I see what you mean about the red and black, you do not have a single body line front to back. Maybe do the hood roof and inner bed one color and leave the sides solid. You might want to tub the bed and get the back down a little more too, it's a little high for my taste. Build on!

Fletch Posted January 31, 2009 Share Posted January 31, 2009 Use the styling that Chip would use then make it your own. I had the privilege of touring his shop in Huntington Beach in 2005. If you looked at his shop you'd wonder how he even turned out a single car. Very small place, room for just a couple of cars. In those days all his interior and paint work were done somewhere else. The shop you see in Overhaul'n isn't his everyday shop. To say that Chip Foose is a genius at auto styling would be like saying the Empire State Building is tall. Kinda like DUH!!!!!

MikeMc Posted February 1, 2009 Author Share Posted February 1, 2009 So I did it before paint..unlike chip who 's been known to cut fresh paint!!!! Rolled rear pan and cowl scoop....this was supposed to be a quicky so I could build the '66 that I've had forever ..oh well got some more ideas Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

James W Posted February 13, 2009 Share Posted February 13, 2009 Two tone silver is classic!! Touch of lime is something Foose would do. Keep Going Man! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rick6343 Posted February 13, 2009 Share Posted February 13, 2009 That looks really, really good! Does the green follow any body lines? Where did you get the scoop? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MikeMc Posted February 13, 2009 Author Share Posted February 13, 2009 That looks really, really good! Does the green follow any body lines? Where did you get the scoop? Thanx, On Fooses '67 the tu tone follows body lines, this one has 2 diff lines one in front and one on the bed. I used the green as a break. The hood scoop is off a '67 chevelle just bonded to the hood! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
