Hey guys got the Magnum painted and wondered what you think! All I have left is the rear window tint and exhaust which I'm on the fence about....The last pic is my nephew who likes to help his uncle! :icon_smile_big:

Looks great, but I have to say Im not a big fan of the "Magnum" call outs on the sides. To me they seem kinda out of place. I wouldnt turn it down by no means tho. :2thumbs:

I agree.  The car looks great. . . . the decals.  :-\  But hey, it's your car, can not please everyone.

Looks good. I like the wheels.  Did you consider painting the vinyl top black or navy?

I've always had a soft spot for a 78-79 magnum cars , hands down one of the if not the best driving cars I've ever had.
If the right car came along in black or red with red interior and T-tops , I might be tempted

Lose the decals... and let some air out of those shocks.

I would love a T top too... black with black int, or black with gunmetal ( if available ) or black with gold ( if available ), or black with red.

well, we can start about I DON'T LIKE DAYTONAS LOL... average, I don't like winged cars. and yes, sorry, I think suits better on it than on a Daytona... matches better the front clip body shape... like this ---> /  ( at least headlights ) then pillars /, then wing /,

and the rear clip with this V shape, something like an arrow

/  <---- wing
\  <---- tail panel

on a Daytona you have the Nose like this < ( maybe effective but still ugly ) than doesn't match with ANYTHING on the car, plus the straight cut on tail panel, nothing related with wing beside just the A pillars

sorry, I began studing architecture at University, and I allways think on design stuff.


I'm not saying would do it, BUT still think suits better
