I think you should go for the low rider look on this one. Two-tone paint and even spoked wheels. This would make a sick low-rider project and that is one genre of automobile that isn't covered much in xmodding.

that is a very very good idea, i dont know if i will take it as far as wire wheels, but it will be low rider style, thanks for the idea, it sits really low right now so that wont change, cant steer it as is, but it will have the look. thanks again

oops completely forgot about that lol, ill get to work on glueing the model together then ill work on the mounts, then ill go get some paint... cant believe i forgot

They have some 1/24 spoke wheels on ebay for 10 bucks. They would really set it off.

For color -black top with either tan/red/blue/lime on the bottom. It looks like you have room for an interior...suede. Really low-rider this one out and it will be a classic.

i have a set of wire wheels, but there to big, ill try to find a set for it, but its not likely they will make it on the car. i think the black and red would look good, maybe a candy red, interior will be tricky but it can be done. should i do a motor all chrome all gold or dont worry about it?

If you have the room to do the motor, and think you can pull it off-go for it. Match the valve covers to whatever exterior color you have. Google some low rider images for inspiration, you should know what you can pull off better than anyone else.

Flat black and red.

Nice looking body...should turn out cool!

TactiKal · #11 10-01-2008, 08:35 AM

I would go all black with red in between the two chrome strips running down each side. Of course you gotta fit red interior in it too!
