A chop for a VMF member

[DarkBuddha 107]

I got a request from a VMF member to do some simple things for his project, so I thought I'd post 'em here:

 

Here's the base pic... Acapulco blue, white vinyl top, lowered a bit, a little tint:

 

 

Here it is again with Magnum 500s:

 

 

Hopefully the owner will post about his project and his plans... :)

A couple more as requested...

 

Approx. 16" Magnums with black vinyl top:

 

 

16" Magnums with a darker cream top:

 

 

BTW, Adam, I'm assuming the original wheels are 15"... is that right?

[bnickel 10,004]

wow, the version with the black top looks almost like what my car will look like when it's done

Actually, the original wheels are 14's. I'm still trying to decide whether or not to stick with that same kind of wheel or use the Magnums, but I cannot seem to find any repros of the current wheels. Thanks for the chops, they look awesome! I'm sure I'll have a few more ideas for you to try out. Also, feel free to try out any paint color, wheel choice, and vinyl top that you might think looks good. One thing though, I don't think I'll be going any bigger than 16" wheels, and I AM keeping a vinyl top.

 

Thanks again,

Adam

I thought I'd try something different and do a night shot. This is a little Shelby inspired, but not really:

 

 

Whatcha think?

hey now thats nice. I saw a really well done 2005 gt in yellow with a fake flat black scoop and even the wing looked good, yeh pakrat thats right the wing looked good. Rims looked just right and were chrome. I couldnt see what they were in passing. Yellows not my color but looks good in the photochop and on the 05 mustang.

add some shelby scoops and decklid, and end the stripes at the scoops and you'll have a 69 california special. that's pretty much the exact look i'm going for with my car except of course for the color and the stripes, and since it's already a GT a GT/CS isn't too much of a stretch

I modified the stock side scoop for this one by flipping it around and hollowing it, but how's the rest of it for you?

 

[bnickel 10,004]

awesome bro, simply awesome. i really like the way the scoops look as well.

[Pendy 0]

Wow! I'm very impressed with that last one. I like the way that the scoops are done (they way they should be. Why are they backwards on a '69 anyway?) and I also like the stripes and "fin" i guess you could call it on the trunk lid. So is this what a GT/CS looks like? Either way, I like it a lot. Keep 'em coming if you have any more ideas. I'd like this car to look as nice as possible.

[bnickel 10,004]

Ford never made a GT/CS in 69, but if they did that is what we think it may have looked like

[DarkBuddha 107]

As requested, a couple more... BTW Adam, the rear spoiler I simulated here is readily available from several suppliers including MaierRacing.com (who has 'em for $400). Anyway, here you go:

 

Similar to the one I did for Bryan above:

 

 

 

And here is the one in black and white:

 

 

Hope they help with your planning.

Yes, that does look sweet. I have always liked the CS look (I missed out on a 68 CS as a kid and guess I've never gotten over it.. lol) and plan on eventually dropping that type of spoilered deck lid/end caps on my old coupe.

 

Nice job and nice look.

bump.

I am going to have Mach-1 front & rear spoilers on my Coupe, a Mach-1 hood scoop, & get rid of the stock air scoops in front of the rear wheels in favor of shelby brake scoops. Also black out the hood like they did on the Mach-1's.
