Default Bass Boat Update!
Well she is getting closer!ALot of people have ask where I came up with my colors and the Idea. Well it is actually the same ideas I wanted to use on my old 74 Z28. I mixed Modern with the most bad *** ride from the 60s and 70s.

The Baldwin Motion Phase III Garunteed to run 10s out of the box or they would make it

Here are some pics of the Baldwin Motion cars.






I remember these car and many more from when I was a kid and they were new!

So now you have an Idea where I started. The hard parts is matching that to the many new curves of a 4th gen. I did not want a exact match but a little new look to add to the 4th gen style. I am still unsur on the rear bumper. We will see.

Any way here are the updated pictures!














So there we are so far what do you all think?

Looks good man. He really took his time. Are you going to do the pin strip above the silver like the the other cars pictured?

It really looks awesome Ellis. If I were to pick between blue and silver for the rear bumper I think I would lean towards silver like the 2nd gen up top.

I agree with Eric. Keep the tradition alive. But until then, it looks REALLY good.

Actually it ran 10s before he started his latest round of mods. Check the list.

EDIT: I guess that was a little over the top. Sorry. I was into the Mac and Jack about a half gallon when I wrote that.
