It does look like it'll be cool.  :yesnod:
Looks like they're shooting for SEMA this year, we'll have to watch.

The Aquamax...yes, this bike spent 2 nights underwater one weekend. (Not my doing), but it gained the name, and has since become pseudo-famous. :)

I think the graphics look cheesy.    :puke:   

What did you expect. It's a custom job.

They don't look that bad to me....for a custom job.

I guess I'm just getting sick of seeing custom graphics on cars, especially old ones.  It would be a lot cooler if these car customizers would just leave well enough alone in regards to this one area.    You can't improve on perfection.  The bodylines of this car are perfect as they are.

  I'm looking forward to seeing this car.  Should be real nice.  I prefer Strope's work over Foose and the other custom builders.  Strope prefers Mopars and I actually met him once on the Hot Rod power tour a few years ago.  I do agree on the point that these cars have classic lines already built in and don't need fancy paint schemes to spruce them up, but I am anxious to see Strope's final product.

Sweet! Strope seems to always have some neat ideas.

Looks like it might be pretty interesting. I'll reserve judgment until the car is done. ;D  Although I will say I am not a big fan of the big wheel movement. JMHO

I GUESS THE VIEWS ARE PRETTY SOLID. EITHER YOU LIKE MODERN TECHNOLOGY IN OLDER CARS OR YOU LIKE THE WAY IT CAME. PERSONALLY EVERYTHING HAS ITS PLACE BUT I CANT SEE WHY SOME PEOPLE BASH CARS WITH BIG WHEELS BRAKES PAINT ETC. DO WE STILL USE ROTARY PHONES ? THEN WHY NOT HAVE A 60 MUSCLE CAR WITH MODERN TECHNOLOGY. I THINK ITS THE BEST OF BOTH WORLDS. I ALSO THINK THAT A STOCK MUSCLE CAR ALSO HAS ITS PLACE FOR CAPTURING THE TIME PERIOD. HOWEVER IF ALL THE CARS WE LOOKED AT WERE ALL THE SAME I THINK THEN IT WOULD BE BORING AFTER A WHILE... I APPLAUD THOSE WHO HAVE A DIFFERENT VIEW ON MODERN MUSCLE. I CANT WAIT TILL STROPE FINISHES IT I BET WE COULD ALL LEARN SOMETHING FROM THIS BUILD .....JUST MY 2 CENTS :Twocents:

I was gonna say the very same thing... :yesnod: ...but I was gonna add that whoever set it up definitely has a lot of time on his hands. ;D
Me, I just wanna see the pics...spare me the flash & pizazz.

The graphics dont look bad to me...I really like the grille treatment, they have corrected a factory flaw as far as I'm concerned. I never liked the 70 grilles, too complicated looking, Painting that big loop trim/bumper and simplifying the interior parts of the grille are really a good looking idea! Now it looks as good as the 68s/69s....

I don't know if this was directed at me, but I wasn't bashing anyone with new technology/Big wheels in or on their ride......different is cool. I was just offering my  :Twocents:. My opinion about wheels is that they should complement the car, not SCREAM out at you and say LOOK AT ME! I'M FREEKIN HUGE!!!  The car should always be the center of attention, not the individual parts attached to it.
That being said, I will wait to see the finished car.  It looks like its going to be a true bad-ass ride. And I might be wrong about the wheels on that car. I will be the first to admit it.  :icon_smile_big:
