Is there nothing else going on in the pro-touring scene? Black TT2s and blacked out trim? I do like the Shaker scoop!
Brown Interior??

The power passenger seat was never an option from the factory. I added one to my 442. It’s added weight but my goal is not to be the fastest guy out there
I see it brought up time to time, but have never seen it and don't think it was possible, but there have been some odd options. I also added the power passenger seat to my 87' Monte, bucket seat car. On a Turbo Buick forum years ago someone else did it too.
Great info about the interiors, PBG, thanks!
Fleming- Yes you're right about the ... yawn... old styling cliche build. I paid $500 for the Bonnie with the challenge to build it as cheap as I can. All of the suspension, brakes, wheels and tires are hand me downs from my Pumkinator build from several years back, all collecting dust in storage. Pumkinator now has 315s all around on 18x10.5 wheels and I'm building yet another suspension to try make it one of the quickest G-bodies on the autocross. With all the spare parts laying around it was a natural and a very cheap way to build Bruiser for my daughter to join my son and I at the races. Being cheap with this build means there's more $ left over for Pumkinator.
I bought this Cutlass parts car for $400 and split the cost with my son who's taking the frame and bunch of engine bay parts to rebuild his 78 Cutlass that someone crashed into. So $200 for a complete super nice interior fits the cheap build motif, even if it is brown, lol. I also picked up a set of Pontiac dog dish caps. I already have the MB Old school wheels but later on when I don't need the $600 for another project I plan to buy 17x9 Steelies for that detective 9C1 look. That's a little cliche-ish too but we're not talking about a 69 Camaro, it's an ugly $500 4 door that I think built this way will still stand out in a crowd.

Funny thing is that I've been contemplating a chin spoiler and lay down like that on the Pig. It's not worth the effort at this point; I have bigger fish to fry.
What do you charge for a rendering?

I guess you have to choose your battles right? I have a good idea for a super cheap front air dam. I'll be doing a build thread for Bruiser once I really dig in and will post details then.
Thanks for asking. The renderings for my own cars are always done fairly quick, but I spend more time and effort on clients' work to really make it nice. A single view view Like the Camaro or Vette are $399, a two view like the Lincoln or the Nova are $699. The final print ready digital files come to you in sizes ranging from 8x10" up to 24x36". I don't pay to sponsor/advertise here so out of respect for the group if you're interested shoot me a PM for further details.
