Looking good.

But um.. I would have used a darker red or something, that blue makes it look kinda like candy...

But looks like you did a grate job.

 

[TSiAWD666]

Holy shit, looks like someone ate some smurfs and puked on your interior.

 

[MrPikolo]

Looking pretty sweet. I kinda like the combination.

Man...the color combo bashing got old 2 threads ago on your updates. I'm not sure how many pictures you took, but I think a write up of how you did it all would be greatly appreciated by many.

I have to say that ur car isn't getting any of the respect it deserves. I don't personally like the shade of blue, but it's a nice job and you like it. I respect the effort and the quality of the work. Keep it up! Nice job!

WEll...
I drove my car for the first time today in four months.
ITs a bit dirty.. but here she is.. 90% ready..

Wow. That's alot of red. I think my eyes might get damaged after being exposed to that for long periods of time....


Just wondering...how'd you wrap everything in vinyl so tightly and perfectly? I'd be interested in learning how to do something like that....

To be quite honest..
Use Industrial strength glue. Work it in VERY small sections.
Make sure that you have industrial blow guns to heat the plastics and vinyl to help stretch..
There is some imperfections, when viewed up close in person, but much better than paint.

Well.. those arent wrinkles..
Thats where the vinyl stops. I need a few more pieces.. to blend them together. Plus, some of it will get sewn directly to the dash.
Hmm... Superman eh?
Im sure I could get some logos embroidered into this mixture... that would be kool man...

 

[TBSpyder]

You definetly should go with somekind of superman or spiderman theme. Maybe some blue spiderweb graphics or something....

 

[RipperXX]

If your going to do put as much work into the engine as you have the body and interior of the car... I say get the superman logo painted on your hood.

And at the back hang a sack of balls with the below writen just above the sack.

"I realy have ball of steel" :laugh:

 

[DeviantClipse]

well i like it dont listen to the ones that are bashing. i would really appreciate(sp?) a write up on how you did the dash cause im thinkin of doin mine in black. if you could send that to me it would be greatly apprecaited
