I think it looks great from the front wheel back. It is a unique concept and would really make the car stand out.

The only qualms that I have with the paint scheme is the nose cone. The car looks like it is wearing a "Zorro" mask in the front.
I know that sounds rediculous, but headlights sometimes look like eyes to me on the front fascia of cars..

I'm on the fence about it. I remember Hacker Joe showing me a rendering with that idea s part of the design and I opted for my flames instead.

Very nice.. but i would add an SS hood then use a scoop stripe like on my old SS (in pewter)..

I wonder what that would cost to have done??

Thanks everyone

onyxxtreme - Thanks for the compliment on the site.

Blu Beast - I looked up that shark, your right, hehe. I still love the look

mako22 - Wow actually I never seen that magazine before. But that is the camaro I got the idea from, only I noticed it in person at SEMA last year. Thanks for the picture's.

Steve1969LS1 - That is a pretty cool idea, would probably cost me a pretty penny though.

HACKER JOE- Damn! heh. Well you'll definatly have to let me know when its done so I can see it in person
