veritech-z Posted November 14, 2006 Share Posted November 14, 2006 Something like this veritech? http://images.search.yahoo.com/search/images/view?back=http%3A%2F%2Fimages.search.yahoo.com%2Fsearch%2Fimages%3Fp%3Dbig%2Brig%26fr%3Dyfp-t-427%26toggle%3D1%26cop%3Dmss%26ei%3DUTF-8&w=800&h=600&imgurl=image53.webshots.com%2F53%2F5%2F15%2F99%2F2128515990054470419ZLlGgB_ph.jpg&rurl=http%3A%2F%2Frides.webshots.com%2Fphoto%2F2128515990054470419ZLlGgB&size=97.6kB&name=2128515990054470419ZLlGgB_ph.jpg&p=big+rig&type=jpeg&no=8&tt=26,013&oid=027faae2b60e4eb0&ei=UTF-8&src=p That's it exactly, except mine would have a tiger mouth on the fender, and I was going to do a fender exit exhaust as well to complete the look. I thought a V8 with a blower like J&J's would be dope if the pulley had a little chain gun barrel detail on a car like that... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
veritech-z Posted November 14, 2006 Share Posted November 14, 2006 And for the grand finale: Anyone? Anyone? whatever, I think it looks cool... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sven Posted November 14, 2006 Share Posted November 14, 2006 Soon my 240 will be joining this crazy little paint club. I've been keeping it under wraps while I wait to move. I had been planning to do this for a couple of years to my truck, but potential resale value scared me away. I bought the 240 with the intention of making it into my urban assault vehicle. Most people will think I'm nuts, but it will make me grin ever time I walk out to the car. That's what matters, isn't it? On a semi-related note, I may be purchasing a deuce & half soon too... If you dig the Volksrods, do a search for "Rat Patrol". It's been chopped and narrowed. Also, several years ago one of the Kit Car magazines had a project car with riveted on Alum panels. It was a Porsche 550 spider that was widened and put on a Lotuse Elise chassis with a Corvair engine. It was damn cool, and ended up looking like a suit of armor with the overlapping aluminum sheet. I can't remember the name to Google it. If you look at the pic below I'm sure you can imagine what it looked like. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sven Posted November 14, 2006 Share Posted November 14, 2006 It's showing up in my browser right now. It's just a linked image, maybe you have some sort of ad/pop-up filter blocking it. It's just a pic of a Porsche 550 Spyder, James Dean style. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

alexideways Posted November 14, 2006 Share Posted November 14, 2006 i have always tinkered with the idea of outlining every panel with rivets and paint the car like a jet I tought of something like that too, would look awsome. --------------------------------------------------------------------------- One other thing I tought would be the ultimate urban camo was: Get a good airbrush artist, paint the car light grey and have him texture it to look like asphalt then you paint one full and one dotted yellow lines running the lenght of the car and VOILÀ, cops won't see you before your on them. "Yep this is car 104, calling 116 we have an unidentified piece of verry fast moving tarmac heading your way, please investigate, 10-4" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OlderThanMe Posted November 14, 2006 Author Share Posted November 14, 2006 I've been trying to look for pics of cars like what we have been talking about and there is not that much out there...Just rat rods which are just rusty cool cars... Haven't found many urban attack cars out there...I'll keep looking. Plus this is HybridZ...No purists here! either for bodywork or drivetrains!

z_cars_rule Posted November 14, 2006 Share Posted November 14, 2006 hahaha, tarmac paintjob, that would be great. some good ideas there too with the fighter style cars. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OlderThanMe Posted November 14, 2006 Author Share Posted November 14, 2006 I'm tempted to go down to big lots and get some cheapo cans of spray paint...brown, black, yellow (for the black/yellow caution stripes), and a bunch of other colors...

alexideways Posted November 14, 2006 Share Posted November 14, 2006 Not really "URBAN" assault but, with urban colors and street tires it could be a definit head turner kind of a postapocalyptic all dutie vehicle. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OlderThanMe Posted November 14, 2006 Author Share Posted November 14, 2006 I think I'd prefer tigerstripe camo on a Z though... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alexideways Posted November 14, 2006 Share Posted November 14, 2006 Now THAT's what I'm talkin' about. Tiger stripes in the blue camo sheem could be made to look nice if one lays the sripes at the right places as not to mask the car's lines.

Guest Mike Posted November 14, 2006 Share Posted November 14, 2006 I saw a yellow VW Beetle II painted like one of those Japanese cartoon creatures. It was funny because the car is actually shaped a bit like the critter. It had a tail sticking out of the rear (engine?) cover shaped like a lightning bolt just like the cartoon animal has. EDIT: I think the critter's name is/was Picachoo... or something like that?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Datsun350Z Posted November 14, 2006 Share Posted November 14, 2006 Veritech, I Love that miata. I want one, how much for stencils? Maybe work a few of the blotches to just barely look like 2, 4, 0, and Z. Not all of them, just a few that would only be noticed if pointed out, or studied for a while.

OlderThanMe Posted November 14, 2006 Author Share Posted November 14, 2006 hmm... time to go to the store and get some large construction paper... Maybe a "Z" made in different sections with different colors... the guy with the standard forest camo vw made his own stencils with large construction paper. here is where he painted the bug... click on each pic in the link to see what he says about each one http://bugadventures.dyndns.org/vw/camo.html I would like to use the camo but not by itself...I am thinking of some dirty faded black and yellow stripes on the rocker panels. Also I've been thinking of putting the Vin number on the doors in a military font. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CORPCRIM Posted November 14, 2006 Share Posted November 14, 2006 I think that if you do find a good airbrush artist then maybe you could paint the car so that it looks like you're going so fast that the paint is comming off the car, exposing rivited panels of sheet metal i'll try to draw something up after i get back from class Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OlderThanMe Posted November 14, 2006 Author Share Posted November 14, 2006 That is a really good idea there CORPCRIM...I sorta want to do this pretty cheap (read under $75 total) so airbrushing may not be cost effective. I don't really know any painters... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
