Title: Re: Jeez.....another '67 project?? Post by: vwhelmot on October 03, 2016, 21:32:12 pm I like! Full on IDA motor?
Title: Re: Jeez.....another '67 project?? Post by: jick on October 03, 2016, 21:41:36 pm Definitely a full on IDA'd engine...... but maybe more 80's style in appearance ;D
I'm swaying between yellow / Aqua / magenta this week ....haha, although decision time on that is a long way off! I'll do the necessary welding and get the pan sorted over the winter and start thinking about prepping the body next spring, works pretty damn hectic and time to work on my own stuff is limited..... Title: Re: Jeez.....another '67 project?? Post by: modnrod on October 04, 2016, 05:31:32 am Definitely a full on IDA'd engine...... but maybe more 80's style in appearance ;D I'm swaying between yellow / Aqua / magenta this week .... Blended guards, scallops with all 3 colours, louvres on the engine hatch, body colour tinwork, chromed intakes........ ;D Title: Re: Jeez.....another '67 project?? Post by: Zach Gomulka on October 04, 2016, 06:12:12 am 80's style!!
I've been told that AssHull's car I built was 80's style. Totally not what I was going for, and not my favourite era of Cal Look ::) Ohh well, compliment is a compliment ;) Title: Re: Jeez.....another '67 project?? Post by: jick on October 04, 2016, 11:04:09 am Haha...... Well hopefully it will be a little more tasteful than some of those 80's cars, but I think there's a few nice aspects from that era that aren't getting used nowadays on Cal Lookers.....
We'll see how things progress... ;D Title: Re: Jeez.....another '67 project?? Post by: Neil Davies on October 04, 2016, 22:10:42 pm Well mine looks very similar to the red one, so I vote yours should be the aqua colour!
Title: Re: Jeez.....another '67 project?? Post by: jick on October 05, 2016, 22:13:21 pm Well mine looks very similar to the red one, so I vote yours should be the aqua colour! Sounds good to me dude...... So far that's where i'm leaning.... Title: Re: Jeez.....another '67 project?? Post by: RobtheManx on October 08, 2016, 22:22:43 pm I agree with the Aqua too . As you know I prefer earlier era lookers , but with the right colour the painted trim thing works great .
Title: Re: Jeez.....another '67 project?? Post by: Steve67 on October 09, 2016, 07:02:09 am really looking forward to follow this build.
Like the idea of 80s paint with nice stance and mean engine. I'd go for turqoise with pink pan and colour matched Fuchs wheels ;D Title: Re: Jeez.....another '67 project??

Harder to do a big window chop than a small window, but it looks pretty good from where I'm sitting! Title: Re: Jeez.....another '67 project??

I think these cars just need a bit more material taking out, and a lot of care & attention around the rear quarter windows.... Title: Re: Jeez.....another '67 project?? Post by: modnrod on April 12, 2017, 01:03:52 am That things got a REALLY nice curve to the roof, looks great!
I like the rear side windows being extended, makes it look way better balanced on the rear. 8) |
