So I'm gona let the cat..er um bird out of the bag! October 21, 2009, 09:35:40 PM Some people have probobly been thinking "what the hell are you thinking painting the tc green like that?" so I desided to let ya'll in on my end game. This is what the deal is, I've always wanted to build a themed car. And the theme for this one is WWII Bomber. And it's going to be built for land speed trials, the Texas mile, and Bonaville.My friend and I have been working on a few paint schemes and e-mailing them back and forth. so here is what we have so far, still a work in progress but you get the idea.So let the nut busting begin!:punchballs: Quote Selected

Reply #1 – October 21, 2009, 09:39:49 PM I kinda thought that paint scheme kinda looked like the F-Bomb Camaro that Hot Rod magaZine did last year (and it eas built for a similar purpose, and IIRX wrecked on its maiden voyage on the salt) Quote Selected

So I'm gona let the cat..er um bird out of the bag! Reply #4 – October 21, 2009, 10:57:53 PM I say more toward the first one. Simple, clean, and tasteful. Now you just need to slam it to the ground! Quote Selected

So I'm gona let the cat..er um bird out of the bag! Reply #10 – October 22, 2009, 12:37:11 AM I'm not sure what to think. I actually do kind of like them both. I think I prefer the first one because it looks cleaner to me. What about leaving the TC verbiage on the door and moving the circle graphic to the rear upper quarter panel, over the top of the filler door? I'm not real artistic, so take what I recommend with a grain of salt and then ignore it. lol. Show us some more ideas! Quote Selected
So I'm gona let the cat..er um bird out of the bag! Reply #11 – October 22, 2009, 06:32:43 AM First pic is the way I'd go. It would be even sweeter if you could paint the red trim to match the rest of the car -- or perhaps match it to the brown color in the circle around the pin-up girl. Quote Selected

Reply #12 – October 22, 2009, 09:24:10 AM to adress a few of your comments, by the way thanks for all the feed back.the wing is there for a reason, when i hit 165mph, the back got really lite. I am going to use the wing to hold the rear down so I dont die as I kinda like living.My first thought was to put the bomber art on the rear quarter, but with the wing back there too, it made it look to bussy and the front looked really bland.I left the trim black to give it some contrast, but as I move forward, it may get painted. I'm going to atleast repaint it black with fresh paint.I did the first one, and my buddy did the second. Even though I have a huge ego, and am my own biggest fan, I am more fond of his at the moment. but we will keep tweeking the idea till it's perfect.keep your input coming fellas. Quote Selected
