Updated pics A sedan pic.....need some feedback....

Been messing around some ideas to do some changes to my car...still not sure about the flames....been thinking of repainting it a suede grey and adding some flaming maltese crosses? changing the headers to sweep straight down??
GIVE ME SOME FEEDBACK PLEASE!
No-one up here in nowhereville michigan to really get some real advice from...

 

another....before the flames....and a really old one

 

oops

 

damn it...hate computers

 

another

 

and a really old one

 

It looks great how about some finned polished front buick drum stoppers

 

I like the really old one pic... looks mean as hell in that pic

 

You need something like this

I think it looks pretty awesome with the pinstriped flames and the flat black.

 

How about this

Those would go pretty well with it....can barely see it ....but it got a bobbing head devil guy smiling out the back window...with some flame stickers on the bottom of the rear window

 

I like the car with flames, or with out. It's the overall look that i dig.
Grey would be cool too. I have two 'primer' black rods and liked that look before it was 'the norm', but it's also nice to see something a little different.

As far as the headers, i don't think you could go wrong either way.

I'm not sure i'd do maltese crosses though. As much as i like that logo, it's been done so much i'm not sure it would do anything for the car..

just my 2 cents though..

Rat....

 

I aggree with ya on the whole black primer thinkg being over done....and the maltese crosses are everywhere.....would like to make a statement with it against all the comercialized chopper crap that everyone thinks there part of now.....maybe a big F*** Jesse James accros the back?

 

found another..

 

How about a slide back black canvas top like some beetle guys use

 

It looks bad ass in the first pic. that is what I would go with.

 

rude dude....kinda need the big hole in the top...so much set-back with the engine and trans...i sit about where the back seat was....cut the hole so i can see stoplights...
thought about a tinted lexan insert though?

 

I think you'd make a statement just by driving that!
I mean it too. Anyone who see it is gonna take notice.

Here's some advice givin to me a little while ago, "less is more."
yeah, simple i know, but it's pretty good i think.

Lay off the gimmicks, let the car speak for itself.
Sometime's we do things to our cars we think is kickass, but in reality, all we did was take away from the whole picture..

I've always wanted flames on one of my cars. But everytime i'm done with one, i don't do it only because i think it will draw attention away from the car as a whole and bring too much attention to the flames..
It's the whole package thats making the statement..
And i personally like the statement your C-dan makes..

~EVIL~

Rat...

 

I was thinking of bad weather you can slide it back to see lights

 

Flame the hell out of it and put the shifter out the roof.

 

Whatever upgrades you decide it really looks sweet good luck and keep posting pics

 

I'd go with thinner taller rear tires. Something about the larger ass end on it seems just ever so slightly out of proportion with the rear tires. If not thinner - just taller. I like the earlier use of red. But i agree either old or new it's a GREAT car. Looks mean.

Forget the iron cross I totally agree they're wayyyy over done. If you want to play with the paint more try playing with other symbols or words or graphics that have meaning to you or that just look cool to you. Something original. You can't make a statement with a statement that's already been made. ya know?

I really like the look of that "been painted by a garage or a racer 30 years ago and its been weathered or repainted and then sanded and maybe repainted and sanded a few more times". But those flames look cool too. I like that you played them up along the top. Adds an original style somehow. Not sure I've seen that to much or before.

But I agree with everyone else - you really got it right. The stance the proportions. All your doing now is just combing it's hair! lol! won't matter what you do - it's going to look like a badass!

 

Instead of flames, how about some scallops? They tend to accentuate natural body lines instead of detracting.

Your headers look fine the way they are, but I vote you bring back the old red stacks for your carbs.

 

thanks for the info....
been trying to come up with a way of adding a name to it....my dad had a 32 sedan back when he was a kid that was an ex-drag car...Had "Mister Meaner" painted on the doors....would like to incorporate the name somehow....
i like the red stacks too...but even less vision...and no air cleaners.....we'll see though...

 

I'd say repaint in glossier black....and then basically detail the engine up in chrome and Cherry red metallic....add some laker headers in chrome....or maybe just a semi gloss one colour layout with black and chrome engine....

Looks damn good now, iron crosses and such might just make it look tacky.

Cheers

Just leave it...you are bored aren't you? No maltese crosses.....too west coast chopperish. Flames are good....flames fix everything.

 

damn right i'm bored.....Michigan winters last forever..

 

i'm sure you're bored with it by now, you need to sell it to me and use the money to start another project!

 

That car looks so good, It'd be hard to fuck it up. If it were mine, I'd flame it, slightly smaller than what you have on it, and I'd make the zoomies come down then sweep back up.
