mcduck Posted July 20, 2006 Report Share Posted July 20, 2006 wondering if ELITE1 is going to have time to PShop the convertible or not <taps finger> If not, may just have to start pulling out the images of my Mustang-stomping 350Z to pass the time. It's not pink like RUF's tho... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

clutch Posted July 20, 2006 Report Share Posted July 20, 2006 Hi Elite, If you have the time, can you convert the grabbber orange with scoops to black stripes as opposed to white. Much, much appreciated, thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

68fastback Posted July 20, 2006 Report Share Posted July 20, 2006 Have you ever sailed on a ship like this? Wow! That's one cool ship! No, never sailed on something like that.. there's a Halvve Maan repro that occasionally plies the Hudson River here and the sloop Cleawater but nothing quite like that! Nothing quite like this up here either: <where's Dave?... I couldn't resist Bryan!> <edit:> oh, damn.... just saw..

What a kick that must have been, Bryan! Great article too; you have such a comfy and fluid style. I only got to spend a couple hours on the Haalve Maan repro (of the Hudson river's namesake discoverer -- it seemed so small!), but never under sail -- how cool is that Elizabeth II journey!

ELITE 1 Posted July 22, 2006 Author Report Share Posted July 22, 2006 ELITE 1... nice work! Have couple requests of my own if don't mind. First... *convertible* - Vista Blue w/Performance White stripes including over the top stripes. stock wheels. mild drop Second *convertible - Alloy w/Satin Silver stripes including over the top stripes. Shelby Razor wheels. mild drop Last *convertible* - Alloy / no stripes. Shelby Razor wheels with black centers and polished lips. mild drop Main thing I'm looking for is the first two to see how these convertibles would look with the over the top stripes. Last request is how I'm currently anticipating setting the car up if I decide against adding over the top stripes. Thanks! :happy feet: I am sure you thought I forgot about doing a vert, its not perfect but, here it is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mcduck Posted July 23, 2006 Report Share Posted July 23, 2006 I am sure you thought I forgot about doing a vert, its not perfect but, here it is. Nice work ELITE1! That helps a lot. Any chance I can see an alloy 'vert with satin silver stripes? edit: got to admit, after looking at this PS a second time, I think the droptop looks better *without* the over the top stripes. They look great on the coupe, but I think missing the area on the actual top of the car makes it too discontinuous on the convertible. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, I sort of agree... and that was logic behind not doing it in the 60s too, tho a buddy of mind had a sweet 65 289hi-po blue vert that he added white GT stripes to and it did really look sweet from eye-level, but not as nice from a highway overpass. But his was also a white-top vert which sort of picked-up on the white of the stripes when the top was up (most of the time up north) and maybe made them work better.

RUFDRAFT Posted July 23, 2006 Report Share Posted July 23, 2006 I agree. The black top will break up the stripes. And - I'd leave off the rocker panel stripes - too. Too many V6's running around with them. Maybe have a sign shop make up a Shelby GT500 logo for behind the front wheel on the rocker. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Too many V6's running around with them. Maybe have a sign shop make up a Shelby GT500 logo for behind the front wheel on the rocker. Yeah, good point... that would look nice. One of the major paint companies now makes a selp-levelling spray 'paint' that stands up to water/rain, but washes off with soap and supposedly leaves absolutely no residue. A bit of a hassel, but it could be a good way to try out some combos and then have what you like painted on permanently. Actually I could also see no GT stripes and a simple and tasteful twin 1/16" pinstriping to allude to the 'hips' our baby is missing. < just a thought (ok, wearing my asbestos suit ;-) > Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Since the top is black, it probably will throw of the stripe somewhat. At this point, I'm thinking a alloy and black motiff... dark tinted windows, aftermarket wheels (maybe Shelby Razors) with black centers and polished lip. Car will definitely be ordered sans any stripes. I may order the side stripes after the fact in satin silver. I kind of like the look in this photoshop I did without the wide center section of the side stripe, but I would only do this with some type of silver/aluminum finish wheels. If I go with the black centers, I'd probably find another way to add the GT500 badging. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RUFDRAFT Posted July 24, 2006 Report Share Posted July 24, 2006 No rocker panel stripes - too common - how about a nice thin silver stripe down the crease line above the Snake emblem (that starts at the rear of the front wheel well flare) and carry it back to the beginnine of the rear wheel flare? Something different. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
