what are you gunna do about all the chrome around the doors and stuff? Im thinking now a chameleon color would be cool on that car but white would be really classy.

Have you seen the new HOK paints? they are suposed to have some kinda chameleon powder you mix in the base coat that changes colors from like green to blue and its a ultra fine powder so you dont even know its there, plus its supposed to not bronze like the older chameleon paints. This guy has a cool paint job.: http://www.fquick.com/garages/82/1471/2003/11972/
that bronzes a little though.

No offense dude, but chameleon painted cars had a shorter "cool" life span than running lights underneath the car.

Whats wrong with neon? lol I actually kinda like the look of neons. Chameleon paints must still be popular, why else would a high $$$$$$ company like House of Kolor invent a whole new line of chamelon colors. Just curious what is the cool new stuff to you right now? Pretty much the trend im noticing now is two tone gloss and matte colors with 19"+ chrome wheels.

had to put the stock wheels back on to try to get it inspected, so I took a few pics of where it would have sat if i had gone with 18's or with 14" wires :razz: I got the sheet metal from big worm and am going to start doing the bridge cover and rear tubs tomorrow, will have some pics soon. I also edited the first post in this thread to show it the day I bought the car.

Looking good man.

I really would like to see that car dripped in a Pearl White. Lots of coats and lots of clear to make it look deep, like a bowl full of Carnation Instant Breakfast. 8)
