WHO DID THIS ???

[ACUDANUT]

  What the F___. !!....Hey I kinda like that idea.

[twilt]

  whats the big problem? 

[ACUDANUT]

 Oh nothing, Just trying to get opinions on this photo of a Charger-Cuda.  What do you think ? I just might try it ? 

[greenpigs]

Well if they did it right and the part with the motor ID looked like something besides a blur it would be better.

[hemihead]

Different 

[Khyron]

if it wasn't shiny it would look good.

[terrible one]

I kind of like the idea. I'll agree that it doesn't look too great though. I think the main problem is that towards the rear of the car the black follows the bodylines, but as it nears the door it violently juts down and away from the upper bodyline which makes it look bad. Then the blur effect seems kind of crooked and irregularly spaced.

Ya that wing doesn`t do anything for the car

[dkn1997]

shit can the wheels and air shocks and you could really have something there

[TruckDriver]

I like it

[rt green]

hate the rims, love the tires. the paint to me seems common place. thats the way alot of cars were in the seventies.

[mikepmcs]

I agree with change the wheels and tires.  other than that it's cool.   is that michigan plates i see on there?

Old news..............HAHA-MATT

IT is actually a neat cocept, just not done very well. If somebody took time to do it and make it look original, it might look kinda neat, I mean EVERYBODY throws standard R/T and Rally stripes on em right?

BTW Just what is wrong with that spoiler? HUH?


Chris who has one of those on MY 73 S/E!

[69bronzeT5]

It would look better without those wheels and a full vinyl top.

[ChargerSG]

That car was for sale like 2 years ago on Ebay

What movie is this?  Looks familiar for some reason. 

[Brock Samson]

gone in 60

[Charger1973]

   Thought I had seen it before. 

[Lord Warlock]

actually that is a photoshop of the gone in 60 sec movie.  The real car in the movie did not have the black side markings, it had the gills on the door and that was it.  I've watched the movie at least 4 times in the past 2 months on speed tv.  The charger does a great 180 slid without hitting the trash truck, stops just missing the truck, then two cop cars hit the truck from the other side causing the trash truck to tip over and squash the charger, eventually causing it to catch fire.  Totally ruined a nice looking car for no reason whatsoever.  What do the gills on the door indicate...i.e. what package got those slits?

[41husk]

if the owner likes it, thats all that really matters!

[old man]

To each their own. I would have not done it quite like that but at least they are doing something with the car. It could be like many others sitting behind a house rotting into the ground.

[plum500]

I put flat black outs from my doors through the quarters. A quick fix when I bought it to a basketball size tea-stain paint reaction on the driver's side from a previous life to otherwise 10ft paint - got me through a summer.

Meh, I certainly wouldn't kick the car above out of my driveway!

that aint no photoshop, those door scoops arent scoops they are stickers they are way to far forward to the fender

[Lord Warlock]

chargerpunk,  if you've watched gone in 60 seconds, (the original movie not the remake) you'd notice the green charger had NO black stripes at all on the sides of the car, it was all green except for fender/door gills, I seem to remember them about 5 horizontal slits not vertical ones.  Someone has taken the  shot from the movie and made changes to the paint scheme. 

They could be stickers, but not on that car.  You'll notice the garbage truck in the left side of the frame.  If i hadn't just watched the movie less than 2 weeks ago I'd think my memory was failing and agree with you. 

My comments were directed only to the green charger pictured above, not the barracuda striped charger in the original post.  The cuda striped charger is indeed a billboard stripe from a cuda on a charger, which in my mind could have been done better. 

[Argos_Chargers]

If you don't like it, buy the car and change it!  Otherwise, it really isn't any of your business how the car is painted.  What the owner of the car likes is a lot more important than what someone else likes.

JEEZ

[jackel440]

I was thinkn about doing this to my car just yesterday.(I didn't see this thread till now)I like it.I think the numbers are to steep of an angle also.I would like to bring the quarter panel paint all the way to the bumper.Pretty neat

[ACUDANUT]

Argo, you did not read it all. No one is throwing hate mail at it.
Jackel, let me see some pictures of your Charger if you do this. !!!!

[NHCharger]

I have that movie on DVD and it IS painted black along the sides. It has the stripes broken up on the door AS IF it has gills but it doesn't. BUT THE CAR IS painted black along the sides. BTW you see the SAME car very early in the chase right as it starts after Pace gets in the Mustang. IT just doesn't have the black panels on it. The car looks to be lime green which wasn't available on the 71 car. It MIGHT be Curious yellow.

Remember the stunt cars in that movie were all rebuilt wrecks or otherwise junkers. The salvage yard in the movie was owned by Halicki and the cars were stuff pulled form the yard.

[Lord Warlock]

Strange, because I got to see the movie twice in one day, once the following day on SPEED channel and twice I made sure to look directly at that particular sequence, and did not see black painted sides on the 2nd and 3rd viewing.  Maybe the DVD has different takes with different cars.  If it comes back on, which I expect it will, i'll make sure I tape it, but I won't rent it or buy a dvd just to prove myself right or wrong.  After all, its only a 71 charger, not like the red 69 Charger R/T visible in the tow truck/challenger vs rent-a-cop scene.

I would have to say Chargerpunk is right this time; I just made another screenshot of the movie just as proof.

[Lord Warlock]

a picture is worth at least a couple of excuses, guess my memory is faulty after all...I blame too much alcohol and recreational drugs in my youth.
