I can put some of the close ups of mine to give you some ideas.

Mine is inspired by several different early 70s funny car. The name is from Pete's Lil' Demon (my fav), the flames over the top are inspired by the Mongoose 2 car, the panel is attribuateble to several pro-stocks and funny's - but it was stopped short going forward more in the funny car style, the gold pearl in the panel is inspired by Jim Dunn's 1973 car, while the stripes are inspired from Schumacher's Stardust car.

The flames start off as a blend of B5 and then go into candy blue and are edge in cream (everything on the car that looks white is actually cream as white is way too harsh against the orange). The panel is B5/candy blue blend and is feathered every 4 incvhes or so so that it catches light in different ways. The panels are airbrushe yellow that fades into a gold pearl with the cream striping - it really pops in sun light and I haven't seen under strip lights yet. The logo is self explanatory. My window lettering is gold outlined in body matching orange.

Richard McPeak, painted my car, took my ideas and promptly did not stick to them. If he had, I would have had a car that would have looked like someone elses. Instead, he listened to what I liked, had the pictures of the cars I liked, and then created something that captured them in a way that is unique to me.

You can see in the first two pics, how the blue around the panel changes based on the sun.

My paint has every single technique from the 70s: candy, pearl, pinstripe, airbrush, character, logo, feathering, and flame.

bill your car is an insiration..no doubt about it.
i can apprieciate every thing thats done to it.
looks amazing...
wouldnt change a thing.
When i was younger and growing up in new jersey
my dad had alot of ol school race friends..
my Uncle John Fox,Steve Kanuika,Jim lieberman,Bud Corletto,casual casual dealings with jack Wersrt ect.
Ive always listend to the stories. which created the passion.
Later i worked for "Bruce the Brush" as a shop hand..and watched the master..
he got out of the race/car paint in the early 80's and pretty much is a "Letter man" now.
(it pays the bills)
Ive painted alot of motor cycles (they dont need much space) Road race bikes and custom harleys and the like.
Ive done prolly more helmets than i car to remember...
I dont do this for a living..(iam a carpenter) but i dig painting.
I really want to do the duster the way i always imagined..just never came up with a full or total sceme. When i do . rest assured it will be done.
seems i always find something i like better...and it adds to the procrastination.
the duster had some clearcoat pealing.(not my work) and a few yrs ago i started to repair it to make it more acceptable.i goofed off on the roof after removing the 1/2 vynl top.
then i tried some stuff on the decklid with colors i had lying around..
I am thinking to do something this yr.to the sides..a panel and some gold leaf..?
if i can image a complete picture in my head it would have been a done deal by now....
i am geting an "itch"...so i figured i shoudl start widdling down some ideas...thats where this post and a few others got me "scratchin"
the deck lid is neat..but not really it for me.
the roof...again was a wild hair..ive done before on something else....it doesnt stand out enough for me...but its still neat.
ill prolly leave it for now?
the panel on the side is next...and should be that big a deal ...considering its size..
i may spray some test panel on scrap aluminum to see the colors i want to use...?then go from there.
cheaspt.
