DS, could you add a white bumble stripe on my 68?  It's getting closer to the painting stage and I haven't decided if I want to do the stripe or not.  Thank you.

that car looks perfect!

Here you go.

I did two versions mixing and matching some of the things you were looking for.  I dropped a 'hockey stick' in the one version so that you could see what it looks like if you decide to go that route.  I also left the "AAR" portion of the AAR stripe at the tail...wasn't sure if you wanted that or were looking for something more custom.  We can adjust if need be.  And finally I just grabbed the first two rims you selected.  If there are other specifics you want to see, or mix and match - we can do it.

I figured it was best just to get something down, makes some decisions, and refine if need be.

(Oh, and I tried to put that large front spoiler on there.  It look a little TOO large.  Kinda like a 'cow catcher'.    If you want me to draw up something more custom, just let me know.)

Here you go.   VERY challenging color to match.  The few references I have, the color looks different in different lights....so I tried my best to get in between. 

Hope this helps.

It does help ds, beautifal job. My car is a stripe delete but I really like it with the bumblebee you added.

No problem.

I couldn't use your image for various reasons (I'll spare you the boring explanations).  Hopefully you don't mind, but I grabbed another image.

Hope this helps and welcome to the forum.

[hutch]

Here's the rest of the Cuda concepts.

Basically, I went with the darker yellow (you seemed to like that better) and if the rim was argent - I kept the grille argent.  If the rim is black, I made the grille black, etc...

Also, I dropped in a faint red caliper in there to give the full effect.

[Charger-Bodie]

the second and third ones of the yellow cuda are awsome IMO

[HITMAN 149]
