it would be original

I say photoshop a few ideas up.

[Brock Samson]

 i think that style would work pretty well on a '69 with the teeth going into the bumper,.. i could paint it with tempra poster paint since it'd wash off with water and i could get used to the idea or tweak it...
of course if someone,..   cough,.. Plum ahem,.. could do a photo shop it would be great ...

Be scared, Strat. Yet again we think alike.
I"ve got a first gen though, so don't have the aircraft styling of a '68 or '69. Rather than put shark teeth on a fender - something I too considered - I think I might incorporate a pin-up on the car somewhere. I think ultimately I'll put one on the backside of the rearend - to give folks something to take their minds off the fact that they were just owned at the stoplight.
Here is one I'm especially fond of- edited for Troy's viewing pleasure:

Great minds all that stuff.

I'm leaning towards something along those lines for my "69.

From the olive drab and flat black paint sceme to some other stuff.

I'd love to try out some "tiger shark" type stuff in PhotoShop.

Here's another example:

Dude, I thought of that like 2-3 years ago with a '68 Coronet I once had.  I was going to build it into a racecar with steel-grey paint, "rivets," and nose art on both sides - "The Queen of Hearts," modeled after the girlfriend I had at the time.  With each race won, I'd put on a little mark like they did with aces in WWII.

Anyway, the Coronet got sold and it never came to fruition, but I'll probably go back in that direction someday.

Hot Wheels already tried it...

[cudaken]

 I think you would regreat it in the long run.

On a side note, the old DC Program made Chevy and Ford Doors with X's threw them for your Mopar for kills. Have a few of them on my 68 Runner.

[Brock Samson]

I'll see what I can come up with in photoshop.

Looks....well....has potential.
I like the idea but it needs something else, teeth are better for a 32 rod imo.

[az69rtcharger]

A little different prespective................

[blackcharger]

[ChargerBill]

I think the concept has the potential for looking pretty good, but execution is everything. I would tend to lean more toward a subdued look. Maybe more of a ghoste effect or tones of color closer to the body color so it didn't stick out SO much.

[Brock Samson]

kinda supposed to in yur face though,.   (&  haters be dammed),..     kinda like the '71 Grabber hoods,.. I agree totally Bill, the proper exection is vital.     


..where is mustang and charger punk anyhow?.  

try these...

Not up set at all. I did the Pro Street look around 1985, but after say 6 moths I was wondering why the heck I did it.

As far as it is just paint, I will go with that! But I can paint car's and painted my own, can you?

Big fan of the Flying Tigers and have sat in a P-40 Tomahawk, flew in a P-38 spy plane (was a 2 seater) and a B-17 G. War Word II planes kick ass.

I allso like the nose art as well. Have many saved as well and the Tigers are some of the best. Just wonder if you will like it after it been there a while.

I'd love to paint my charger,..  myself!

that's just one of my ideas the other is to paint it up in a classic Fender Stratocaster Sunburst finish... with the top done up in a Faux tortoise shell finish.. and the bodies curves exaggerated with gloss black fades like the old '60s style,.. kinda like this...

Id love to do the fades on that!

Just have the art you want made up into magnetic sticker. Put it on when you feel the need to express yourself, then peel it off when you want that clean stock look.
