Victoria Secret

That car will look even better than the preview pics are indicating. I agree with those who say it will look good in almost any color combo, but nailing the exact color scheme is key. I think I might lean toward earthier shades, but with light metallic.

The only thing that bothers me is that tailfin leading off the top of the front fender sidetrim. Maybe a custom made piece with a more graceful fin.

It's cool how you take suggestions; you have great taste in all your cars.

 

Or maybe brighter with a subtle fade.

 

Or maybe a nice section job, 3" rear, 2" front.

 

I'm not liking that one piece windshield. Yellow looks cheap. Section looks good.

 

Wow, fascinating story, and cool car!
There have been sooo many cool color combos posted, but this one just seems to 'fit' the car the best, IMHO.

 

If I could whip something like that up as a "quickie" I'd be quite content. I have always admired your talent Jeff.

 

bare metal makes me drool


.

 

While I agree, I would imagine that this would present a problem with the (convertible) windshield header that Vic's have. Even If you could make everything work (windshield flange, trim, glass, drip rail) in the space allowed, I'd think that the integrity of the header would have to be compromised...

Husge improvement on a sedan/coupe when the windshield opening is raised during a chop, but may not have been doable on this one...though Rik's photoshop looks bithin' as always.

 

I've not considered myself a "fan" of modified shoeboxes............. BUT that being said... THIS car makes me want one... BAD!!! Nice job, FANTASTIC story leading to build too!! I am only glad I dont hafta help pick "paint scheme"........... they ALL look schweeet! Will keep watching this one!!

 

The shoebox bar is now set in the ionosphere.

 

Did you do the Mooneyes?

 

Very cool - can't wait to see what color it ends up.

 

Yeah, Don took the stude out too. Man it was packed!

 

Just saw this. Didnt even Know You let it out of the bag. Good luck on the color choice....JOHN

 

Yeah I just heard about this today too...I was going to sell my secret spy pics of your car to a Japanese magazine ...

 

BenD is my hero he is on his way as we speak with the hood.

 

Great job!

 

Very few cars have an absolutely perfect profile. This is one that has a perfect profile, IMHO.

 

Hmmm
mopars of that vintage thru 58 had a 3 tone combo .. Anyone anyone beuhler

 

That is one bad ass car! Looking forward to seeing it finished!

 

shifter on the one hand i envy you because you have an absolute killer ride but on the other hand with all the amazing photoshopped color combos being put out on the hamb..you my friend probably have the hardest part of this build yet to come....the color. goodluck friend.

 

I think you have all of our attention now!

Any plans for the engine/tranny? I know you drive the hell out of your stuff...surely you're not gonna hide a SBC in there, are you?

 

Mmmm uhh well.???

 

i sure as hell hope so!!!

 

Man, this car certainly has the right proportions, stance, and "car sex appeal" if you will, with the wonderful heartfelt story to go with it. To say you nailed it is an understatement. As for colors, to me I like the combos that have a slight hue variation - something sultry and sexy that would define and exemplify this car's sexiness - something right out of a Victoria's secret cataloge (in keeping with the Victoria theme), what colors you think the "den of inequity" would be bathed in if you will. Skin tones come to mind for the center, satiny smooth, not shiny, and perhaps a soft mauve with some shine to it, with a hint of flake for the top and bottom. Sorry, I do not have photoshop ....

 

Awesome car.

 

Great car Skipper. Maybe more footage for the next Mad Fabricator video?

 

Alot of HAMBers have been contributing to this project and I thank you....A HAMB icon stopped by today and we will play the guess who game?

 

groucho ?

 

Ha ha no...believe me you will know Groucho when you meet him.
