facelift..

for those at the roundup yesterday.
you saw a project that took all i had to keep under wraps for a month.
for those that didnt make it.
here it is.
something ive wanted to do for some time, but could never find one priced
reasonably to test.
after staring at the pics for the past month i like the look better then the old one. and have already started planning out next years look.

let me know what you think.

Anthony

I am glad you posted, Diane went around and took pictures of the cars and owners. Somehow yours got missed.

It is going to have a great look to it, can't wait till I see it painted.


Tom

I was looking at that 1 pic where yours is on the end.
I could tell something was up but couldnt really figure it out.
That looks pretty damn good.
NOW
Whats the overall plan. Match the nost to the body or body to the nose?
Your pretty talented with this stuff. I'm impressed

That nose SLAMMED looks so tight!

LEAVE IT!!! It would look sick with some thick a$$ white walls

I agree, but I don't think the army green would look good with the roadie nose. Flat black would be awesome though

I'd paint the rest of the car the color of the nose. I love that shade of green on the nose.

It changed the look of that car so much i coudn't find it!! till we got to newicks and i recognised the back end,.
cool wheels,.bright orange color would be wicked,.

Something like this?

.......go with an 84 or any other 15 inch cadillac factory wire wheel and a phat white wall....
black? gun metal? satin bronze? .....
no matter what ya do its gonna look good

Gunmetal would look really nice

looks sick! flat black with Wide Whites and steelies FTW!

definition of BADASS!!!!!!!!

That is SSick Anthony. You never cease to amaze...

I can't wait to see it painted uniformly.

Looks excellent my man! Totally badass. It makes me Randy. I always loved the RM front but never cared for the rest of it, so yours really pulls it together, especially with the flares...

You're ability to keep this under wraps was awesome...

Doug

thanks for all the comments.
the car will be neither of those colors next year.
tossing around a few ideas, hope i can decide on one by spring.

I think you should find some of the Roadie side trim and make some of it fit some how and tint the chrome a little. either way it's awesome looking.

I like the color combo you were talking about at the roundup. I think it'll look killer.

And like I said before, if you told me you were going to do this before, I woulda thought it wouldn't work. But it does. I wouldn't of believed it. You got rid of all the ugly RMS parts and stuck the nose on a nice body. I diggit! Mucho props!

Bizarro Anthony car?


Hey what color combo? By the time I went to look, you were gone.

i was the last one to leave both the park and newicks.

this is the color im leaning toward right now.
hot rod flatz- speed blue



if the roadmaster side trim works i will paint it gloss black kinda like this.

and i may do just the roof.
candy apple green over silver metallic base.
with airbrush work on the silver before the green goes on.

and the wheels will be gloss black.

Sweet color! an absolute must

Trim & wheelz = NICE
With your exterior MODz I think it would be to busy with anything assed to the blue/black combo
BUT....you kill it everytime so what do I know
Good luck with that

No,. sunset orange is not bright,.
Hugger orange,. or tangerine candy orange is bright,.

needs an old school grille,. the roady sedan grille is a direct take off of the 46 grille, in its down turned mouth style,.

wide whites, rub rails under the rear bumper for sparks,.spotlight,.big airplane hood emblem,.headlight visors,.sunvisor,.
real retro low rider style buick looking hot rod,.

I like that idea a lot, Hood louvers?

I dig that color combo! Some pinstriping and it'll be too legit to quit.

Ants car really reminds me of this car when I see that Roady nose and green paint

Ant,
You gotta post yours over there

I can't wait to see what this looks like when done. I'd almost say if you were going to paint it all one gloss color, do a metallic graphite or dark silver...but I like that flat blue
