Projects SHOEBOX: tying in the back end with >PICS<

Poster Style--------------TwoChops

 

hahah,,,,cool.......you are spoiling me with all this great photoshop work,,,,

 

,,,,,,,,,,

 

Your at it again hahahahaha.
I can dig the fins, flows well.
just one thing......maybe two. I think the top should is a bit round at the crown, and the angle of the vertical bit behind the doors, i think should similar to your vertical screen angle, if that make sense...........i know its only mock up, but just things to consider. Your doing it right man....keep it up.

 

oh-oh! now where we going with the rear quarters? or are these "permanant for now" like the top. mike

 

there was a guy earlier in this post that said "cant wait to see it with the fins back on"....
you dont know how bad i wanted to tell him,,,,,"just wait a day or so"..hahah...
as for the roof,,the high crown is the rough shape of the roof,,,,im actually planning to style the roof after the golden sahara II (the bob metz version)....ive got it mostly figured out i think,,,,,,,,,,,,,im gonna put my own twist on it of course,,,but it'll be similar in style...

Do you have a pic without the spats?

 

the skirts (i assume?),,,,no, not with these pics..

 

NOTHINGS permanent until it's welded....

 

With the fins back on,it looks like you have been watching
the Dragon thread.

Looks great Jim!! The front looks way better now. Doesn't look so sad and droopy. I also think the fins will improve the droopyness of the back end as well. Man I just used droopy twice in one post. Keep it coming!!!

 

hahah,,,its pretty ironic that thread was posted recently,,i had been planning this for like two weeks,,,,i was dying to tell the guy that jokingly commented that he couldnt wait to see the fins back on,,but i bit my tongue,,,figured it would be worth it for the shock value..hahaha.......ive got a few more tricks up my sleeve,,,,,,,

 

yeah,,the back had too much taper,,,,i considered untapering it a little,,,but decided on this in the end,,,,,,

 

Dammit dude you're driving me bonkers, all the renditions are killing me but you gotta make up yer mind. I like the heavy taper on the ass, makes the car cartooney, I like the fins and the bubbletop too, are you commitment phobic?

 

I don't get it......

 

hahah,,,,not really....i just keep thinking of ways it would look better,,,,,like i said earlier,,,if its not welded,,its not permanent yet,,,,

i have only a few more ideas,,,

 

thats ok........a lot of folks probably won't

 

HAHAHA don't you know this is a mild custom. Just a quick clean up and it will be on the road.

 

Good luck, I can see you have a lot of work ahead of you spring will be here before you know it.

yeah,,,,it seems like lot of time,,,but really its not.....its gonna take a TON of late nights,,,,luckily, i have a very cool and understanding girlfriend..

 

i need one of those again... an understanding g/f!!!!!

dig the fins man i think they are gonna be the ticket!!!

 

Love the fins, it really looks great. such good vision

 

Tasty!!!! Im digging the Oprah vibe, She's fat, she's skinny, she's fat, she's skinny! Keep screwing with it till ya got where you want it......

 

Jim,

I'm really starting to warm up to the direction of this car, especially with the addition of the fins.

How about using the fins from a 60 Cadillac? Once they are cut, the bottom could be pulled out to fit over the existing top of the original panel.

 

Lovin the new version of the fins

 

thanks.....the car was asking for them,,,i just wasnt listening until a couple of weeks ago,,,

 

not a bad idea,,,but the caddy fins would be too straight,,the shoebox really tapers in towards the back,,,,im gonna have to fab some from scratch i think,,,tried the stude fins i originally had,,figured maybe i could cut them down a bit..,,but they are too straight as well

 

im pretty sure ford thought that when they built it too, lol

 

The fins are back!! Yay!!! I was wondering after what you´d said before. Really looking good Jim. Like it a lot.

Still going to use a glass screen and a half roof? And a plexi lift out centre section?

 

Lunchbreak quicky...
