Here's the page- there's quite a few really nice "G3's" that showed up as well as many other drool worthy cars.

I can tell you first hand Wally's car was looking absolutely awesome at the show! Very nice example of what Car Craft is all about. Your work is amazing!

Wally, I didn't recognize her - she's even better looking than the last picture I saw. She just gets better and better looking Smile

not the greatest picture, but while watching "drake & josh" with my daughter this morning they were driving a '76 elcamino with swivel buckets. It burned up at the end Sad

Movie / TV magic is always mysterious.

You know that Challenger at the end of Vanishing Point that gets smashed and burned. I hear it was actually a Camaro. So odds are good the ElCamino was unharmed. Smile

It was pretty obvious some sort of gas burning.

Just came across this one on line. Love it!

I like it. IMHO the stripes look out of place on a blacked out car though.

by thatfnthing Wed Oct 29, 2014 1:41 pm

I disagree -- I think they make the car stand out more. I love it.

by driveit Wed Oct 29, 2014 2:41 pm

What size wheels and tires do you think those are?

I would guess 20".

I like it.

Nice car! Needs an accent color pin stripe between the white & black a-la Foose IMHO.
Killer stance though, "old school meets 2014".

by driveit Wed Oct 29, 2014 4:43 pm

That's what I am thinking too. Local striper (one p there guys!) does outline or two tone stripe divisions for 100$ I thought it would have been more, but still seems high to me for two little stripes.

I have to agree the stripes look killer on it.

by Wallyuph Wed Oct 29, 2014 7:36 pm

Candy red stripes would have been better choice if you ask me but nice car.

by Dinomyte Wed Oct 29, 2014 8:05 pm

It looks very sharp. I was thinking silver stripes, and a pin stripe around them, they actually look a little unfinished, but that's just my $0.02 worth.

You are correct. Nothing says "I care" more than the little details.

by dynchel Wed Oct 29, 2014 8:29 pm

Idk, I still think that car (being all blacked out) would look better w/o the stripes.

by Dinomyte Thu Oct 30, 2014 9:33 am

It's all personal preference. It's like vinyl tops, and 20 plus inch wheels.

What about the flat black reflective stripes like on the cop cars? You only see those from certain angles.

This isn't the best shot, the black on black is much cooler.

- that was my first reaction, then I thought this must make underground parking really tricky.
