    FB_IMG_1708570465508.jpg What happened to all the wild build styles and paint schemes from the late '60s, 70's? (And a little into the 80's) I love these style cars, and wish they would make a comeback!

    I REALLY want to do a wild 70's paint job on something, just need the car to do it on. I guess I sort of have one if I wanted to really change up my Chevelle. The green vette at the bottom was one my dad had in the 70's. I grew up wanting something like that...

  3. The guy that painted my vette is really good at that style of work. I gave him free reign on my hard top, he did lace, endless line, starburst and silver leaf but kept it fairly subtle by burying it in candy. It’s awesome! 534867CF-6438-48E1-A50D-3AB897AD2850.jpeg B159ABD2-4204-40A7-AD88-B5A20EC677A4.jpeg A6C4964D-0600-46F9-BFC0-608EC61AEDA5.jpeg 7E473053-755B-4521-8D0C-4BB1207B0DE2.jpeg

    That's my plan for my namesake. It's a survivor/junkyard save. 20231118_121206.jpg 20231118_121155.jpg

    Agreed. I don't just want to this, I NEED to do this.

    100_0796.JPG 100_0799.JPG This is the closest thing I'm ever going to have to one of those 70s paint jobs. I had it all covered up with primer and paint. 100_0802.JPG 100_0816.JPG
