Please resize your pics.

pretty cool
 
I like how you made one side Code Red and the other side Regular Dew, maybe you can do the roof or hood in LiveWire??
The clear hood is interesting, but the rear tires/wheels look a bit odd, what did you do to it??

pimpjuice 12-17-2003 07:07 PM

thanks...im just stating this car and still need to paint. the rear wheels are flipped around. inside out basically. i get better grip when cornering. 2 wheel drive . stage 2, 9 tooth.

pimpjuice 12-17-2003 07:08 PM

also , the hood is made from a mt dew bottle. thinking of spraying a transparent candy green metal flake over the silver and croming the wheels.

theMonster 12-17-2003 07:33 PM

cool...
 
Are you looking for a sponsorship or are you just a Dew junkie??? Heck, I'd send in pics of your car to Pepsico, you never know what may happen. I think the car looks really cool and don't know what the green metal flake would do. I hope you take my idea of putting the Mt. Dew LiveWire logo/colors on some part of the car. I'm chroming my wheels too. I bought some Martin Senour chrome paint last night, but it was aweful, so I'm stopping off at Meijer's or K-Mart on the way home to pick up something else. What kind of Chrome paint are you using?

pimpjuice 12-17-2003 11:10 PM

i just love my dew... (addict)thanks though. I was thinking the metal flake would blend the hood in. i',m looking at testor zink chromate metalizer. you can buff it out like metal when its hardened. not sure how it will look though.i've never used it before.

chrome paint
 
I used Krylon chrome paint $2.50 at K-mart and it turned out really well. You can see a pic in the main forum.

looks like he used 2 screws. nice idea. ever think of a coca cola, using a red supra??? well stick with the same company and make a pepsi out of a blue civic.

Hey, with the round top, it's probably also somewhat self-righting when it rolls over...
