Chrome that front bumper!

 

Thanks, Moose! That makes me feel much better.: P

 

That Volvo is only a a couple of steps away from looking like the hirohata merc.

 

My dog in the pile.

 

This is how I would want my Volvo 122 to look.
(The car already looks like this, I just changed the steel wheels to wires.)

 

Wow.. You guys are amazing!

Could someone turn my coupe into a roadster?

Thanks Moose you read my mind ... I purchased NOS skirts for a grand total of $99 a few days before the car arrived on the car hauler and I am planning a window tint as well ... you definitely hit the mark !!!!!

Top Up....

 

Awesome thanks guys

 

All you members who help with the photo shop requests, thanks!

 

I'm ultra conservative on paint schemes and vintage race car schemes. Any help would be appreciated. Gary

 

hood and grille on.

 

Gary, there's so many ways to go with this and most of it is going to be a subjective call. What you've done is created
a huge canvas to paint on. Your color choices really are dictated by a direction and or concept of what you want
the car to be.
For me, a race car is meant to call attention or just the reverse, an exercise in subtlety and design. I'm assuming that
you want to add to what you've done rather than a total repaint. So, that in mind, I'm suggesting that you create a contrast with the colors you've picked and still trying to promote a racing image. AS an example, I just increased the usage of black which will automatically create contrast with the red. (You could use white or some other color) then
accented with a brighter trim for demarcation. After that I'd start filling in the voids. Make your race numbers bigger, distress them, include old decals and add leather belts and if possible build a loud, large exhaust (Nothing says race car like noise) AND give it a name. By choosing a theme you start to build in a specified direction.
The other way is to be conservative. Go with a darker, classier color, whether you distress the letters or build it more like a restored race car, you will achieve the results by having a direction and being bolder with your approach.

Here's an example of a home built race car that's running around in Europe.

 

madfish, thanks for your time and effort. I understand exactly what you are saying. I like both versions. The paint on the 30 is just primer so anything goes. Now I just have to do it. Thanks again, Gary

 

I like a more subtle approach on a vintage race car...something that looks racy and classic at the same time. That's a nice looking Chevy no matter how you end up painting it!

 

looking at picking up a 1952 dodge pilot house pickup like the included picture, would like to see if anyone could do a photoshop color chang on the photo, looking to paint it Atomic Orange like the chevelle picture.. Thanks ahead of time.. also if anyone has any other color suggestions would be nice just don't want to do the typical Blue or Red or Green or Black.. looking for something different but simple...

Thanks a lot!!!

 

Here's a quick, down and dirty version.

 

thanks, madfish, looks great, simple but cool....

 

man the talent !!! I love this thread, always rush right to it,, Cannot believe how talented people just "produce such neat stuff" seems there is just no limits to what people can MAKE happen.

Thank you, thank you, talented people willing to share....

never thought I would say " I love that Volvo , lowered with wires.."

 

I know you said you didn't want green but I changed it up a bit with light pearl green or how about something simple like white.....

 

amazing work there Moose... half-expected to see a reflection of the person taking the pic....LOL

 

Oh, now you've gone and done it.

 

Maybe you could put corner windows from a 49-55 chevy pu.. ?

 

Here ya go...

 

What would this look like with fenders on it ?
