very very cool

Hi Guys,

I have been working away on the car and progress is steady. I have managed to get the 'dual note' horns working and am thinking of externally mounting a pair of them...under the front bumper by the over-riders.

On a side note, I have been playing with the old photochop program. I have messed around with the stripes and would like your thoughts;

Silver highlight;



Red flash;



White blaster;



Silver enhancer;



I'm keen to hear what you all think.

i like the red as it matchs the rest
have you got the spats and where do you get them from?

The danger with using red on the side is that it needs to then be the same red as the rims and then the danger is that it is too much red. If you use a different red it looks like you were simply unable to match it. I think it is safest to go a universal colour that will go with anything else you do to the car. Hence the silver works well, or perhaps the white. Maybe even a more subtle gunmetal grey.

i had a mesh sunvisor that ended up in the back of the shed it got bent so i chucked it out, i have found a supplier of new ones the mesh type is $175

go red

I'm spoilt for choice aren't I! I guess that's the cool thing about Rat Rods......anything goes, and you never make mistakes....UNLESS! You do too much....and then it looks like your trying too hard.

The colour matching should be easy, as the wheels are a temp colour I had lying around, so the final paint should be easy to match....Thank you Super Cheap!

The wheel spats are my feeble attempt at photochopping, but I am making my own spats from Brownbuilt shelves! I found a bunch of them rusting away behind the shed, so they are being rescued and put to good use.....more on them as the happen!

Finally, I have a mate making a bonnet emblem for me....and it looks stunning. It's probably too good to put on the car, but I will use it as he has put in so much effort. It's going to be a 'Hornet' in flight mode....and this dude is machining it from a steel ingot! How lucky am I.

More soon.

Hi all,

Have been a little side tracked with things, but have found time to sort some more on the Green Hornet! Big thanks to the following people;

Brenton (AKA Chobis) - Free all steel sunvisor!
Richie at Wheelworx - Free billet steel Hornet bonnet emblem!!!![:u]
Graham from Woodside[;^)] - Free headlight trims, indicators and wicked and very old roof rack!

I have done mainly little things since I posted last, so I will let the pics do the talking;



This pic gives you an idea of how low the beast is now....2 inch blocks and reversed leaf springs for the WIN!







Cheers,

RJ
