wow nice transformation. nice lookin ride.

 

Viva la Rockstars! That thing was a PILE! You done well man!!!!!!!

 

Nice

 

I really dig the way you did those scallops. Very nice.

I think a set of hub caps with trim rings, or full wheel covers would the finishing touch, but it looks good.

Got any "before" pics?

 

Looks good man. No matter what they say, I still love that color combo.

Mootz

 

very nice!!!

 

thanks for the compliments!

I am holding off doing anything else to the wheels for now...I still have the skirts to put on. I have to work on them a little so that the tires do not rub when taking corners though.

 

Sharp ride!

You guys out West are blessed with lots of good iron still holding together, back East most have these have returned to the earth from which they came by now...

 

Man that turned out pretty sweet!
I love looking at all of the pictures of your build-up.
Hopefully my 52' will look at least that cool.

Whitey

 

From now on, those scallops are what I'm going to think of when someone mentions, simple, tasteful graphics.

 

Club coops have great lines. yours looks good!!!

 

Nice! I really like the scallops!!

 

that is frickin sweet! what paint did you end up using on the body? i remember you were asking what to use. love the scallops! great job.

 

It is a DuPont industrial strength semi gloss black...
I hear that John Deer has a neat semi gloss black too though.

 

Very good.

 

Looks great, I like your website with the pictures, You've come a long way! I dig the paint (I want a similar look for my chevy).

 

Looks great!, love the scallops

 

Nice ride...great scallops

 

Nice! I love these chevs!

 

Looks great I remember the other pics you put up along the way! Great job

 

Home Town Kid does well! Just Flat Ass Nice....and above! Shoot me a pm if you have a chance been around B-town along time but don't think we have crossed paths yet. Would love to see her up close and promise I won't ask her to dance....much!

 

Beautiful car and simply clean........excellent work for a home grown! Can't wait to see it moto-vatin around town.

Brandy

 

excellent treatment on how the points meet near the fender....and how the scallop ends near the tail....really NICE job........

 

the scallops were originally photoshopped on by 4t64rd from the HAMB...as soon as I saw them I knew they had to go on!

The funny thing is the photo had the scallops coming off the rear taillights but the guy doing the paint could not tell so he just added his own touch and before the gray was on I was not sure I would like the back...but after the gray went on I like it a lot!

I forgot my profile says Bakersfield...ooops...I am a Taft boy...have lived in Bakersfield quite a few times and work in Bakersfield too. Long boring story of why I am in Taft...want to see why....http://lotusnlaney.com/gallery/house (restoring a 1940's house with my future wife).

I am hoping to drive my car out to the march meets..a few years later then I originally planned but it is worth the wait!!!

At the house we found a little pedal car and Mitch (three year old) wants it painted to match my car...once we are moved in I am going to do it.

 

I love the car, but the paint is average. It looks like it is lost between Glossy Black and Satin Black, almost a milky look as if it where shot in not so good paint conditions. Maybe it is just the pictures, not ragging you but just giving my honest opinion from a web picture view. However like i said the car looks fucking killer anyways. Is it just the picture or did the black not turn out right?

Chopa

 

the paint is weird...it was supposed to be a satin black but came out more of a semi-gloss...the guy that painted it wanted to do it again but I would not let him. I dug the look of it and wanted it to stay that way.

more then a few people have said/asked what is up with that color? what color are you going to finish it in?

and it has a 10 foot paint job on it too...meaning when you get closer you see more blemishes...a couple runs...a few fish eyes...no biggie though. it is a driver and not a show car.

honest opinions are welcome!

 

Personally I wouldn't think of changing the amount of gloss. Looks great to me!
The "Speed spears" really make the car IMHO. 4t64rd has a great eye by the look of it.

Hats off to you for a great looking ride Lotus!

 

You have absolutely nothing to explain about the paint in my opinion.

The semi-gloss looks perfect to me. It doesn't look like the typical flat flat flat black. And it doesn't look so shiny that it looks like you were shooting for high-gloss.

I think the car looks great, you should be proud and drive the wheels off of it

 

I love coupes.
