looks great to me. The background is nice ... unique.

Ditto. That background really makes the art stand out.

Would love to see one of these done up as a gasser with a straight axle front end and all. Rolling on 20's is good too.

[DVierstra]

Thanks guys! Well, it looks like the client is leaning this direction. Roof rack,
No shaved doors.




I'll post more images (interior and rear view when I get them completed).

I like that one better... the little blue stripes were a little '80s for my taste. This one is killer!

[deuce_454]

i like the last one way better too.... and if you want to drive it in europe it will have to have exterior handles... the german polizei dont mess about either...

but i think the last one looks much less "dated" would be nice to see it on some bonneville salt flats style d hole wheels in 20 inch.. perhaps with a cast center...

like the grey/silver color combo better but I would do that paint combo with no doorhandles and no roof rack.

Tonny

Thanks everyone! I will add more pics to this post as I work on it.

Here's an interior view. One of two.



Client wants to keep it with the two tone- Gun metal on top and silver on bottom with a light bright blue pinstripe separating the colors.

that really makes me want to draw the interior of something .... looks slick

Definetly the second one and that interior shot is freakin awesome...
