Are you planning on any graphics on it or are you just going to leave it plain? Have someone airbrush a big Kermit head on the hood =)

Or do some scallops or blobs

Ax, where the hell were you when all this work was going on? I have waited too long to back up now (sence may). You have a good eye for that stuff. I like em all, but it will not see that type of stuff till this time next year. My next plans are for a 392 FMS crate motor

. Then you can come down to the swamp with a pair of rubber boots and a roll of masking tape, and we'll tear somethin up. And sling a little paint. Keep em coming Jason

AxemanZZ · 12-26-2000, 08:19 AM

I don't think any one of those graphics would take more than a couple hours of prep work. Especially the lightning bolt if you swapped the colors. Put the purple on the bottom you and wouldn't have that much at all to sand and shoot. BTW, if it were possible for me to make it down to the swamp whenever you get ready to paint I'd love to. That would be one mean @ss looking canvas to play around with

Anyway, here's the one I was just talking about...
http://members.mustangworks.com/axem...8workcar03.jpg

The lightning bolt could stand to be pointed more toward the top of the fenderwell like the previous attempt, but you get the idea. I kinda like the previous one better myself because the purple looks good on top of the green. BTW, that color is very close to "Goofy Grape" which I believe is a Sherwin Williams color.

Ax, The green is a sherwin-williams color. I like the green over purple. And the lighting bolt high in the fender. I am glad that every one likes it, but it really does not bother me if someone else likes it or not because it will only have one seat for a while
