Looks great Kris, well worth the wait!
Well, it looks like we have a good range of concepts to choose from. Any of these will work well with the Olds. Hopefully there's something for everyone!
Again, thanks to Scott for this forum to showcase all of our artwork and Jeff for his investment of time, sweat and $$$ in the project.

Thanks Ben, I was glad I had a chance to contribute. Jeff is a hell of a cool guy to work with and is really knowledgeable and best of all, has good taste, which as an artist, makes it much easier to design for him.
I wish I would have had a little more time, especially with the last few weeks being as busy as they've been for me, but I'd say it's about 90% of how I would have liked to have seen it. I ran out of time on the small details like the smoothed and recessed marker lights, and would have liked to have tried some door handle options (shaved handles are neat, but a real pain in the a$$ sometimes.)
The red and silver scheme came after several other color and paint scheme options I threw at Jeff and I think he and I both agree that it's a good looking setup. It's sleek and sexy because it's silver, but the red stripe shows a darker side to it.
Ben's exhaust idea is killer and I'm glad Jeff decided to have me render it on my design as well. No matter whose paint scheme gets chosen, I'd love to see that realized.

Id like to thank Brian Ben Jason and Kris for the hard work, All the renderings look great to me :thumbsup: The budget for all parts and supplies will be $15,000 All the labor will be in house with the exception for the interior.
Does the average typical cost of a rendering from the artists that contributed go against the $15k?

I actually spoke to Jeff about that about 2 weeks ago. I sorta feel like it should be part of the budget even though we're not really charging for it. It is part of the build process I guess, specifically this build. It shows what can be acheived with $15K. What does everyone else think? Maybe I'm wrong.
Kris Horton
12-05-2006, 01:08 PM
I'm with Ben on this. Renderings are becoming a "given" part of the build process these days, especially to those planning on spending a lot of money. Just think of how many projects you see on this site and others where the builder or owner has a rendering to show his plans for the car. I would definitely include the price of the renderings into the overall build cost. That's my 2 cents. :)

As far as I can tell this is a question about the car itself and not the renderings. That being said I like the Black and Gold paint scheme but with the bumper treatment from the blue one. I would also consider painted bumpers, maybe black.

I personally like the blue car best except maybe with the W30 hood, but that would probably put it over budget. I have been going to Oldsmobile car shows for around 25 years and one thing that i have never thought looked good on an Olds is painted bumpers, but then again that is my opinion. Good work by all the atrists tho! :thumbsup:

Who are you??? And how is it you think the Cuda is "Beautiful" but never been impressed with any of my designs?? I designed everything on that car.
Looks like I missed all the action while I was at the drawing board today.
Apparently, I have to defend my work from people I've never even met in the context of a fun little showing among friends in a forum I'm proud to be a member of.
Everyone is entitled to their opinion and their own personal style and taste which you should strongly consider when you hire a designer or a builder but don't try to talk out your southern output about me because my design isn't your favorite.
And to Jody, Chris, Jonny, and Brian; Thanks for the love. You guys are pros.

Wow!!!
I know three of the four guys that offered a rendering here. Having owned a 71 442, I have a soft spot for this project and have been keeping up with the threads on it.
It is truely hard for me to pick a favorite here as I see two that I really dig.
I gotta say though, I can not believe someone would knock anothers work in an open forum? It would be one thing if Jason had been blowing his own horn about a project, but to blast his work ( donated by the way for free as a token of his appreciation to Scott and this site ) just blows me away. Especially since Scott started the thread and set up the poll. This is one time when if you don't have something nice to say, why say anything at all.
When I read this thread earlier, I was thinking this would end up being an artist popularity contest and hard to get a true feel as to which direction the car should go. I really look forward to seeing which rendering guides the project. Though all four are different, I like things about all of them.
Jason, don't let the haters get you down, most here know you and your work. I look forward to working with you on a build myself some time.

I don't think the cost of a rendering should be included, as it's not a part of the car itself. The purpose of this car is to show what you can build with $15,000 ...and most of us should be able to envision what we plan to build without having a rendering done. The purpose of this excercise seemed to be more to help get the forum to all focus on one common goal... if it was not intended to be a "group" build, it would be built to the owner's specific tastes - instead, he left it up to us and a rendering contest was a great way to get an idea of what we all had in mind.
BTW, as I said in the other topic, I really love the "musclecar" look of the black & gold. The others have more of a "class" and "elegance" look to them, which isn't my particular taste... nothing wrong with that, just not what I'm into. :)

It was Jason that actually inspired me to submit my work to magazines, and to Scott here, and he's a great friend... I apologize for getting wound up at the comment made earlier by another member, but found it uncalled for. I agree that his work alone speaks volumes.
As for adding the price of the rendering on this project, I feel that the point would be moot... the idea here was to view the renderings as a bunch of guys just throwing ideas around, and as a way to give a visual springboard for the build. Besides, giving something back to the community here was a pleasure (and an excuse to draw more!) Had this been a full-bore, ground-up build focusing on body and interior mods, etc, then hell yes, a rendering should be a requirement to have all involved on the same page, and, of course, figured in to the budget. For a community build, where the focus is on teaching those new to the hobby, the renderings are just what I said before, a visual springboard, and another aspect to consider when planning a build, that being hiring a designer to help narrow the vision.
Great points made by all!

You know, I looked at all the renderings, and I can't vote on just one. They all have something about them that just kicks. From Ben's design with the exhaust and the stock flat hood, Jason's classic design, Brian's design with the stripe separating the two colors, and the look that Kris' design just gives to you, I can't just chose one. With touches from all of them, I say do this. Use Jason's paint design, with Kris' color combo with the silver body and red underneath. Ben's modifications just fit, and if there's any way to do it, use Brian's hood and turn signal relocation. Like I said, they're all so good I can't chose just one. I choose them all.

Good points by Derek and Brian regarding factoring in the cost of the rendering.
My point is that you can still be really creative and have some big league and tasteful body mods within a relatively modest budget. It doesn't matter whether they are ideas conceived by the owner or the designer, but in this particular case there were many ideas presented by both designers and Jeff that may be used. I think it just proves the point that you don't have to be building a $250,000 show car to reap the benefits of hiring a designer. Most of the mods shown only cost [Jeff] time and sweat. We work to any budget.
G-body, dude, you're not making many friends here. That Blue/silver cuda Jason designed is one of my all-time favorite Mopars! I don't know how you can publically criticize a guy so harshly who's got the credentials, client list or magazine coverage he has most definitely earned. I'd be less inclined to chime in on this if I knew Jason lacked modesty and wasn't the class act he is. If I remember correctly, this was his idea to donate the artwork. That speaks volumes of his character. I'll leave it at that before my big mouth gets me in trouble! :D

I was waiting to meet someone at a SEMA booth my last day in Vegas. I was talking to my contact when up walks Jason. I met him a few nights before at Sandlin's gig and expressed my admiration for his work as I am a fan. He thanked me for the complement and moved on. Of course I thought "Eccentric Artist", and I am totally cool with that. When we met for the second time, however, I found Jason to be a friendly, engaging and enthusiastic individual who was totally complementary of others work in designing cars. From 20 minutes of conversation I met a man who is confident in his work and I was duly impressed. We have subsequently spoke a time or two and I have found him to be a professional worthy of the praise and the acolaides he has recieved.
It takes a real simpleton to cut someone elses efforts. It takes a genuine A-hole to try to Gut someone like a fish for no good reason. Alot of us here consider this place home. Ripping people here is like takin' a dump in the fancy Powder room at a family reunion and not flushing. Its just rude man.

This thread was asking for your favorite rendering; not your opinion of any of the artists who volunteered their time to do a rendering. We have a no bashing policy here and it is enforced.
You're welcome to have and share your opinion of the designs, but not your opinions of the people themselves. Even in your explanation/apology you have to get another dig or two in on Jason. That part of your opinion isn't allowed or welcomed here. If that's an issue then maybe you need to hang out elsewhere.

The general tone of your responce leaves a lot to be desired. Plenty of folks have expressed "Their opinion" here. Freedom of speech and all that. Go rip folks elsewhere.
Anyways, the voting is going well and the poll is open to the 15th.
The renderings will stay on the s-Curve page so they will always be easy to find as the project takes off.

Thanks everybody. All of you other than G-Body are the reason I'm on this forum so often. Some people just love to hate and use public forums to do it anonymously. Classy!
And G-Body, that "funky ass air cleaner" is a shaker scoop. You can see it clearly on the cover of Hot Rod.....
Done with that BS and back to the real reason for this thread: Z-Bugger has the right attitude. You found something you loved in every design and normally that's how the process works with a few drafts.
And Ben is right on the money in the explanation that hiring a designer is a worthy investment to any project of any budget. More often than not, we will increase the impact of a vehicle while still maintaining the budget.

I agree that Allen really has the right idea (scary though that may be) in that each design has its ups and its downs and that maybe combining some of them could be the way to go. It may still happen. I'm sure that the outcome of this thread, while very influential, will not put a gun to Jeff's head when it comes to finalizing the car.
Jason, there are always going to be haters, especially on the internet. You have no need to defend your work and your client list and portfolio prove that, but I'm preaching to the choir on this one. Good job not letting negative comments get you down and good work on the design. :thumbsup:

Like said above, not like anyone here needs to hear it again, but I've been very impressed with Jason's professionalism, and renderings from when I first worked with him on the Cuda's one-off wheels (from my past days at Budnik). And when I left, he was one of the select few who took the time to email, and call me to wish me luck with my new business. Keep up the good work, Jason, you are a good person, and an excellent artist, and it shows in everything you do, regardless if it pleases everyone or not. Can't make everyone happy right?

Very well put Jody.
To have an opinion is one thing - to belittle or knock somebody down is another. As mentioned, zero tolerance around here. There are alot of people who invest countless hours a day maintaining this site, not to mention the class act people that contribute in the forums. It's reasons like this Lateral-G has earned the reputation it has. We all have alot of pride in what this site has become and not going to let any negative influence dilute it.
With that said, Allen hit it the the nail on the head. It's like the old saying "Four eyes are better than Two". All the artist have their own style and flair. Working with an artist and having renderings done is an investment that will pay huge dividends on the back side when complete IMO.

True, Jason has steered me away from several "mistakes" on my '68 that would have made the car "average"; with a few style points and simple changes the car will have much more IMPACT, these changes are alot easier to impliment beforeyou start mixing the paint-Chris :bow:

My votes for the green on green. This was the only design that incorporated some kind of accent to the rear "hip" of the Cutlass. The hockey stripes look good too but I just like how the green one flows. And I like the way you made the front bumper blend or disappear Kris. I can't believe nobody caught that. It's a toss up for the colors of the green on green and the silver and red.

Glad you caught the bumpers! I narrowed them and painted them. It seems to be a trend right now. I remember one of the coolest things I remember from seeing Reactor at SEMA was how great the bumpers looked and how tightly they were tucked into the body.
On some of the paint schemes I sent Jeff, I accented that rear body line, but when we had to narrow it down, we went with just the silver/red combo you see. Once the poll is over I might post one or two of the other paint schemes. :)

Yeah, I hear ya! That was the toughest thing for me. I seriously have 15-20 different color and stripe combos. There were a couple that jumped out at Jeff and I, but I ended up going with the one that I began the rendering with. I think I mentioned this in the previous thread but I wanted to do a simple (read:time is money) stripe that continued the chrome notch created by the front bumper while playing up the forward shoulderline.
Anyway, I'll probably post some of the others when this is over also just for kicks. Good idea Kris.

I am currently working with Ben and Jason on different projects. All I can say is, without any reservation that both have helped tremedously to the projects that they are working on with me. They are both class acts that listen to what I want to see but also will put there own creative ideas into the mix. My projects will be better finished cars because of their involvement.
As far as Jason's style, it does not matter if you like it or not and yes you are entitled to an opinion but to say your have never been impressed by his work. What drugs are you on, dude? He is one of elite designers in the world. All I can say is just wait until later this year when you and the world will see what rolls out of my shop with Jason's help. The proof is in his work past, present, and future. And from where I sit his future looks very bright.

I have gone back and looked at the renderings a couple times now and thought of something, while I was working today.
All the oldtimers around here know that in the early 70's, a true 442 with the W-30 package had plastic inner fenders that were red. I know, that may sound tacky now, but that is the way it was back in the day. Once a final rendering is done, that might be an option to try just to add to the look, for us oldtimers. Then again, maybe not???

Hmm, I've seen that look on a Cutlass before :_paranoid
Nice to see I thought of something cool for once in my life!

This is sort of a complex issue. Everyone is chosing between the colors that are shown here on each submission. Is it fair for me to change my color selection halfway through the polling? If I can do that, everyone else should be able to. Unfortunately, Jason will end up getting screwed because he will have to redraw and re-render his entry. The other subsequent problem is, how many revisions do we get? Where does it end and when is the final submission actually final?
When Jason, Brian and I first discussed this project, we agreed that we would limit our submission to 1 entry each that we felt had the best chance. I can't speak for Kris but honestly, I'm not in a position to give permission.
Kris and I both mentioned in previous posts that we may post alternatives that were left on the cutting room floor just for fun.
I suggest we let the poll play out until Friday and make a decision then. A lot can happen in 4 days. Perhaps small revisions can be made after that.
I'm just kinda throwing this out there. I don't want to step on toes considering this is a project that each of us were draw entirely to show our appreciation rather than competition. This is what we do. We generate ideas for everyone to talk about, analyze and make a decision on.
Maybe Jason, Brian and Kris will chime in on this as well.

You have a great way of layin down the smak ben :D I think it is all great I would love to have some more opinion from our members thats the part that makes this kind of project fun to do. I am game for every one of the renderings, I like all 4 I have found that I cant look at them any more and I still do I get confused on what one I like the best It was great to be able to share ideas with each rendering and I find some attraction to each :yes: now im going to have to pay you 4 to do rendeings on my challenger, after that id probably need a straitjacket :willy:

Congrats Ben, I cant wait to get rolling we are going to start with the engine build and trans, after they are done we will just wrap them up and put in the corner, I want to talk with you on shades of silver, Im going to base clear the engine the same color as the stripe, Im going with a brushed alum look on the engine also, we have some nice fabricated valve covers and air cleaner Im also getting rid of the ugly olds fill tube it will give the engine a cleaner look Im going to tap 1/2 npt in the back of the block in two places and we will have a remote alum. breather tank that will work for oil fill also so we will have clean valve covers and no fill tube on front, I think it will give the olds a cleaner look.

Thanks Jeff!
Sounds good, I'll get my color charts ready to go. I will hopefully get a chance to post some of the alternate color schemes for kicks. I'll be sure to post a bolder blue to see if that generates any positive feedback.
I was thinking that the same silver should be used on the grill insert and headlight bezels and taillight bezels.
Again, I want to thank everyone who participated in the poll and helped us move toward the final goal of the project.

I'd like to second Jason's congratulations and well-wishes on the project, and extend my gratitude once more to Jason for organizing the idea of submitting the designs... It was a blast working with Jason and Ben early on, throwing ideas around, and just having fun with it.
Here's hoping for all the best with this project, and can't wait to see the great ideas put into steel!
Thanks again to Jeff and Scott for the board and the project, and Ben, man, way to go!
Even though we had a poll to vote for the rendering, all versions will be kept on the s-Curve webpage along with the links to each respective artist's website. I can't thank each of you enough for donating your time and effort on this. :thumbsup:
