    hood too pointy, would not hit.

    Actually, the red on the grill is all wrong. Still hot, but with pointy elbows.

    He was looking at me!


    A bit of metallic paint wouldn't hurt.


    Post some car raer. Pour one out for Pontiac while you're at it!

    Red flames on the front and a Continental trunk - that should be an either/or thing. Still hott though.

    Red pinstriping over flat black is the correct answer.

    It's halfway right. Rims should be completely red. Not with chrome lips.
    Lake pipes are OK but superfluous on that year of car.
    Forward split front end seems out of place too.
    Airbags are nice and the chop too but should have stayed with painted not vinyl roof.
    Kinda looks like he took elements from all the different styles of hot rods and put them on one car - a bit like this:

    Is it just me, or does the paint look like it was spray-painted on? Maybe it's just the light. Don't mean to hate.

    Though, if batman (or -mon?) had a hotrod, this may be it.

    Supposed to be matt black, no?

    Looks hard, but yeah, if you go for this look then Lakes pipes are too decorative and yeah, the de facto rule is red pinstripes on matt black. Chip Foose would have nailed it.

    If I wanted a car, I'd go for a cross between this:



    and this:

    And it would have a horn like someone throwing dead crows at an out-of-tune harp.

    Black primer on this one looks okay, that red shit on the nose needs to go. That roof chop looks like it was sat on or something.

    Those wheels are all wrong for a big car like this - maybe some Cragar 5 spokes or sumpin.

    Chip Foose would have painted it two-tone and put ridiculous 22" rims on it.
