Inner Fender Color? - Lateral-g Forums

OLDFLM · #1 03-29-2010, 11:59 AM

Since you guys picked the color on the FREEDOMBIRD I thought it only appropriate you help with this detail too...

Inner fenders are body worked to remove all the factory reliefs (dents) and all holes have been welded/filled. They are in primer and ready for paint...

So, JetStream Blue to match the firewall or "hot rod" black like the top of the radiator support? lmk

V/R,

You know Ty, in the email response I said blue. But looking at this picture I almost change my mind to the black. Tough call.

eggshell (low gloss) black. The engine should be a showcase, like a piece of jewelry in a box. Not drawing attention to the surroundings, but to the engine. Of course I would have probably done the firewall in the same black, but that's me. Any way you do it it's gonna look killer.

The only thing that's missing in that pic Jody is that it's not in my car with Pontiac Baby Blue valve covers!!

I was mainly trying to show how clean the black looks as a border for a nice engine like yours. Threw a pic of Pauls car because it shows how well the black looks against a beautiful blue car.

Jody,
Both of those look just awesome! And that all of the aluminum is brushed or satin tops it all off really nice.

Ty, either way you go it will be great. But because the firewall is already blue then I kind of lean in the direction of blue inner fenders too.
