Malitude Ver 2.1....... winter changes

[camcojb]

finished the car last year, had a ball cruising around to local shows, drove it up to Hot August Nights, etc. But I had that affliction I get often, where there were things that I'd do different if I did them again.

After SEMA I decided to do some of those changes. Some mild stuff like going flat clear over the carbon fiber (thanks Anvil for the idea!) and to Scott and Kurt at Autokraft for figuring out the perfect low sheen clear to use. Also wanted to go back to eggshell black on the dash, interior and console, firewall, inner fenders, etc. The dark gray looked great in the shop but look weird in certain light outside. I sold my Forgelines to help fund the changes, and went back to my 17" Vintage wheels. There's also another change I made which shouldn't be too tough to pick out.............. :wow:

Anyway, here's a couple pics of where I'm at so far. I'll do a complete update when I'm done, and this time it's done for good.............. :lol:

What thaaa..whole colour change tooo:wow:

[Al Moreno]

I love these wheels a lot more. IMO, the other wheels were a little to Bling Bling.

I like the new color. looks more old school.

But, I also love the other color, why the change?

[Musclerodz]

So much for a subtle change......:lol:

:thumbsup:

[camcojb]

thanks guys.

The other looked great about 90% of the time. But in certain light and at certain angles it had a burgundy look that I did not care for. To change the dark gray interior and engine compartment stuff I had to pull the car almost completely apart anyway, so when the painter said "you know, we can change the exterior color too at this point....................... " :yes:

Looks amazing. :thumbsup: :cheers:

That boy ain't right.

Jody's the only guy I know that will rip apart and paint a perfectly good car just for something to do.

Looks awesome. The silver jumps out at you much better than the dark gray. :thumbsup:

Looking forward to seeing more pics.

[SteveMcqueenRules]

I have seen this car quite a few times before just now realized I saw this car at Hot August Nights too.

New color looks great but of course the old color looked good too.

What silver is that? Some silver cars go flat and lose all the character of the car. This really highlights the shape and character lines of the car.

Have you thought about going darker on the wheel color? I think a charcoal or magnesium color would really make the paint pop and be a good contrast to the bright paint.

I have thought of changing the spoke color, but I wanted to see it completed first to decide. It's a new Mercedes silver, cost enough, so good to know it works. I really like it.

Thanks.

[lil427z]

jody, sell it and build a new one.

Paint it red...oh wait....never mind...

[tony byram]

I like the vintage wheels better, they go great with the silver. :thumbsup:

[SteveMcqueenRules]

I was bored.

[jack67rs]

New silver way cool! someones got to stimulate the Cali economy, sure the painters happy to ablige. nice work Jody.

[zbugger]

Man... I liked it before, but this is really nice. Maybe I'll get to see this version of it sometime.... Maybe.... Unless you get another bug up your butt to change it again. Hmmm.... Maybe copy Charley and go yellow next time?

[awr68]

I love all the changes! So what paint code is that? :unibrow:

Just kidding!!!!!!!! :lol:

[DEIGuy38]

The car looks great, can't wait to see it back together. Is that a collection of old school lunch boxes in the case in the background?

[Ricochet]

Glad you finally let the cat out of the bag!! Funny what a few cocktails and BS'ing can do at SEMA!! :rofl: Jim (the painter) didn't think twice about tackling it....AGAIN!! Looks awesome Jody! I agree with change - not sure if I would have had the sack to do - but looks much nicer! :thumbsup:

I guess I know one topic we will be talking about tomorrow morning on the way to Ironworks! No funny business with you & Jim egging me on trying to spend more $$ I don't have! :rofl:

[camcojb]

yeah, I've got a collection of old Cox gas powered cars and a case of old lunch boxes. Got maybe 50 more lunch boxes, need more glass cases............. :willy:

I am a fan of grays, but that silver looks great on that car. Nice changes :)

[camcojb]

I'll try to hang onto it long enough for you to see it............. :) I've had it 2 1/2 years though, maybe you don't get around enough. :P

[ProdigyCustoms]

When you told me at SEMA you were going to repaint the car, I thought...............this guy is F--ked up! Not because a new color would not be better (I do like the silver better) but damn it man, it was just finished!

Your dedicated to a cause Jody and nothing will stop you from getting what you want. I admire that!

Awesome!

[Steve68]

Nice color change Jody, I like the silver better than the gray,


I also had that Road Runner/Wylie E. Coyote purple lunch box on the 2nd shelf in the early 70's, I picked that one out real quick,

[XcYZ]

We need more pics. :D

Again, looks awesome Jody! :captain:

[jannes_z-28]

Congrats on the new look Jody,

I was thinking about your car the other day and wondered what had happened to it, it has been quiet for a long time. Glad to see it again. It looks great, I prefer the lighter silver but I might be biased. Sure you don't want some black stripes on it too?

So this time it is only cosmetic, no mechanical bugs to iron out I hope.

No we want some track videos of you and Charley fighting for the corner.


:thumbsup: :thumbsup: :thumbsup:

[BonzoHansen]

that orange beetle bounced around my house for years, it was my brothers. He had a pile of the cox cars too.

Oh yeah, the car looks good too. :)

[slenning]

Man Jody, when you get a wild hair you really go for it don't you? Very disappointed that I won't get to see her ( and you of course lol) on the Power Tour. Looks great. Again:bow:

[Stuart Adams]

Awesome car, really like the new color. And what a motor. :thumbsup:

[bulldog19]

Jody car looks awesome!! I agree that maybe a dark grey spoke would look killer. :yes:

[Ummgawa]

Cool Jody. That car is the Killer.

[bulldog19]

Jody car looks awesome!! I agree that maybe a dark grey spoke would look killer. :yes:

[rwhite692]

Paint it red...oh wait....never mind...


Looks awesome Jody, I like the Silver more than the previous Gray. Jim sure does nice work.

Man, this car should be renamed "The chameleon"...It's on a bi-annual color change schedule!

...Can we all vote on what the next color gets to be? :lol:

[gearheads78]

Jody you have this sickness like no other I have ever seen. You are someone I can aspire to be.:D

+1 for darker wheels and I think they fit the look of the car much better IMO

[ironworks]

Jody congrats on the color change. Alot of guys would leave the old color and then be reminded of fact they did not change the color everytime they see that certain angle.

I have some parts off my truck currently to do some similar things that nobody else will ever notice, But If it is not right, I will always know what could have been.

:thumbsup: :thumbsup: :thumbsup:

[Tiger]

and they keep telling me that I'm nuts!!!!

way to go:thumbsup:

[Stuart Adams]

Maliroid is more like it now.

[OLDFLM]

LOVE it Jody!!! That silver is very classy!:thumbsup:

[buickfunnycar.com]

I'll do a complete update when I'm done, and this time it's done for good...

OK Jody...who ya kidding?:rolleyes:

Seriously,excellent choice on both the color and the wheels.I totally understand what you're saying about the color,my friend who painted my '69 also painted another '69 a very similar shade to yours.I was there the next day when it was still in the booth because I was picking up my c/f spoiler that I had them lay on more clear while they were there.I remember them test-fiting the spoiler by hand on the car in the booth and it looked killer,that color really was rich.But when they rolled it out into the sun,it almost took on kinda a feminine lavendar tone that really was off-putting.I would not have been happy had that been my car.


Bet it really pops in the sun...:thumbsup:
Oh and PS:I think you need to go back to charcoal on the spokes against that Silver.:yes:

[lil427z]

jody, what is the new color.
rick k:cheers:

[kwhizz]

It was probably time for a rebuild anyway.....You must have had at least 500 miles on that "Beater":rofl: ...........:willy:

Ken:rolleyes:

[waynieZ]

I really like the new changes, the color looks great. I've always loved those wheels . They make the car look rugged, like its ready to take on anything.

[7TSS]

Looks great!!

At least I changed my mind about the color my car was painted before I re-assembled it. I give you props for taking it down again. My 2nd go seems to be taking me a lot longer too. Did you just scuff and shoot?

used the old paint job as a base and blocked the car again, sealed it, and shot the new color.

Thanks everyone for the comments, much appreciated.
Jody

[camcojb]

getting close. Here's the flat clear on the carbon fiber wheel, dash, and console, plus changed the wheel from polished to silver powdercoat and had the paddle shifter anodized black.

http://www.camcojb.com/temp/malitude 757.jpg

Changed all the cold air plumbing on the engine to an eggshell black also instead of titanium, makes it disappear somewhat. Also had the headers coated.

That is by far the coolest Chevelle I have ever seen. Nice work! The new changes only add to an already outstanding machine.:thumbsup:
I may have missed it somewhere else but what are the specs on the engine and how much hp and tq are you getting out of it? What is the boost set at?

Yeah...whatever! :rolleyes: Thanks for the props Jody - but I think I should be the one saying that.

Now let's get some front sheetmetal on that thing!

[bowtie_nut]

The car looks great! By the way, what windshield wiper motor are you using?

[camcojb]

The car looks great! By the way, what windshield wiper motor are you using?

That's a DSE unit I believe. May have been made by Mark, not sure, but DSE has an identical unit you can purchase.

Jody

[elco]

Very nice. I was hoping to get a glimpse of it at this years Power Tour. At least I'll get to see Jack Ass.

[camcojb]

finished the color sanding and buffing. Got to put the front sheetmetal and trim back on, and then get it fired up and moving. Getting close.

[Steve1968LS2]

Nice!

When this car is done I'm shooting it for some magazine.. if PHR doesn't want it then I will shoot it for Super Chevy and my Chevelle magazine.

Very nicely done, I so love this ride... :thumbsup:

Looks great Jody. Is that a new project in the back ground?

[Steve1968LS2]

Chevelle magazine, huh..................... :) Thanks Steve.

Jody

Yep.. ... it's full of mostly Chevelles.. lol

Or Super Chevy and then re-run in the Chevelle book.. in any event consider it a sure thing.

[awr68]

It's really cool how you get us in the books, Steve! :thumbsup: :cheers:

[Roger M]

The color looks great. I think that paint and those wheels compliment each other nicely. I hope you get quantity discounts for paint jobs ;) (jk).

What sizes are the wheels and tires(I know they are 17s)?

Definitely the nicest early Chevelle IMHO.:thumbsup:

Jody, Don't make me come over there and hit you...

Looks good :) I like the old color a little better though. The new color is just a bit to "bright" for me.

Layed down 455 RWHP yesterday in the GTO :) Im slowly making my way up to the 900-1000 RWHP
