Brettd85 Mar 29th, 09, 10:33 PM :eek: That looks menacing! He must have put some serious hours into that. It truly is a work of art and very unique.. :yes: Your gonna get alot of attention with that. :cool:
Dave Mar 29th, 09, 10:34 PM Looks good, is that a wrap, or is it airbrushed?
javablack Mar 29th, 09, 10:54 PM i like, that would be a good paint scheme for my roadglide:yes:
primernovaben Mar 29th, 09, 11:05 PM Cool skulls!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
nitrousss Mar 29th, 09, 11:10 PM Headbutt away!
Jim_D Mar 29th, 09, 11:25 PM Looks good, is that a wrap, or is it airbrushed?
It is air brushed, lots of hours. It looks better in real life, pictures make it look like a cluster F.
Still would of like to of had half the skulls, guess I will learn to like it.

OutCast Mar 29th, 09, 11:53 PM I think it looks good, Jim.
webfoot Mar 30th, 09, 12:01 AM I like the dude with the top hat!
Dave Mar 30th, 09, 12:03 AM I like the dude with the top hat!
Looks like he's smoking a doobie, or a Berg.:D
ehjorten Mar 30th, 09, 10:04 AM I knew he was bluffing with that crappy graphics scheme he was showing us!
FRYNTYR Mar 30th, 09, 6:18 PM Very cool Jim, still won't make it any faster!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I'LL STILL SMOKE YA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :D:D
Racing Mar 30th, 09, 7:51 PM Wow, how many skulls are on it?
Jim_D Mar 30th, 09, 8:13 PM Wow, how many skulls are on it?
Too Many........ :(
Fat Tire Mar 30th, 09, 8:22 PM I wouldn't say too many skulls Jim....
It looks good... That's the objective of a race car... Be loud, stand out, be unique, and anything goes..... :yes:
People are going to talk about the Skull Chevelle that runs 8's...... Nobody will get confused.....
Heck... when someone describes my Chevelle........ they will say the Red 69 Chevelle..... then people have to figure which one of the 80 Red Chevelles out there they are talking about... :sad:
Jim_D Mar 30th, 09, 8:38 PM I wouldn't say too many skulls Jim....

Don't get me wrong, I like loud. I just don't like ear deafening loud and this just screams of too much at me.
Brettd85 Mar 30th, 09, 9:02 PM Don't get me wrong, I like loud. I just don't like ear deafening loud and this just screams of too much at me.
:( Well whats important is that you like it so now what are you going to do? :(
You should paint it white! ;) I agree its loud but its grown on me and I like it now.
wills65 Mar 30th, 09, 9:09 PM Looks wicked! I like racecars that are loud! Both in appearance and sound. The "skulled out" Chevelle that runs 8's...at least everyone will know which one is yours!
Dave Mar 30th, 09, 9:38 PM It's alittle over the top, maybe. But, I like it in the fact that it stands out in a way I haven't seen before.
But, I think Roger hit it, SKULLVELLE.:yes:
kettbo Mar 30th, 09, 9:56 PM I can't wait to see it....
lesscubes Mar 30th, 09, 10:14 PM I'm not a graphics guy but damn that is some IMPRESSIVE work. Airbrushers and Pinstripers are amazing guys to watch work, I can only imagine the hours in that job.
EvilMouse Mar 30th, 09, 11:17 PM NO WAY... I LOVE IT... but then again that screams of my taste.... I think it is bad ass.. Like Cowbell... Never enough Cowbell...

Jim, if it really bothers you... I'll keep the car for you. Of course I'd need your trailer too since my wife hates paint jobs with skulls everywhere.:p
Mr. Monza Mar 31st, 09, 9:11 AM Maybe you could get Don "the Snake" Pruhdome to get a sponser fer yer and you could be called............. the Skull (skoal) Banditl:)
Or a movie car in the parody remake of Tales of the Crypt called Trails of the Crap.
cobaltchev67 Mar 31st, 09, 9:21 AM I'm kind of curious what you told the painter/airbrush to do? Seems to me from your comments they didn't understand what you told them:confused:
I'm undecided.....I'd have to see it in person.
primernovaben Mar 31st, 09, 11:07 AM you guys are all nuts! the "excess" amount of skulls is what you want on a race car. get noticed standing still or from a time slip either way you got it covered jim:thumbsup: if you really want ill paint the nova a gloss white and we can trade straight across if that will make you happy :D as far as the paint goes it probably didnt take as long as you may think it just look like he had 5-10 stencils and faded them into what was already goin on. i dig it jim it looks like a real 8 second ride now
Jim_D Mar 31st, 09, 1:35 PM Here is a close up........

FourEightyNine Mar 31st, 09, 8:47 PM Could you spray like some black transluecent on top? Making the skulls a little more ghost like?
At first it was pretty wild looking but the more I see it the better I think it looks.:beers:
JNorton Mar 31st, 09, 8:54 PM On a road car, too much. On a race car...:thumbsup:Right on, man. Perfect. I think it looks bad as hell. Whatever, I like skulls.
I wonder how it would look on a black car with grey skulls? Oh, and I like the skull on the door with spikes growing out of his...skull.
