I really, really, really, really like the Black Widow motif, but if not, then here is another offering......
Install the 150 side chrome, paint it pearlescent white and call it "Nights in White Satin"

I was only about ten years old, but I will never forget the '57 Chevy BelAire that the old retired doctor in our tiny SW Missouri town special ordered - Matador Red over Coronado Yellow :eek: That car was so ugly it's burned into my memory cells forever :LOL: Cannot believe the dealer let him order it, and more cannot believe the factory actually painted it. Sick, sick, sick color combo....Quote:

Don't think I can do the chrome, but the two tone split is sure nice!!!! Probably have to be aggressive kind of colors for a gasser????Quote:

For a single color, gasser appropriate, I'd go Yellow. To my eye it's a great color for a gasser, and not all that common like red, blue, black,......
The name possibilities are numerous. Just a few for example: Yellow Fever, Lemonade, or Lemon Aid, Lemon Peel (like in peel out), and on and on. If you go with the Lemon theme you could airbrush simulated dimples on the roof to look like a lemon peel (or leave it out in a really good hail storm :D).
no if your going yellow you could call it mellow yellow and that would fit in with the time frame of the song mellow yellow by donovan ???
That 57 is just plain cool. :cool:Quote:

One of the local legends around here (and it is tucked away in a barn, still as it was raced back in the day) is a tri5 called 'Hacksaw'
When I was a kid I found a 55 gasser called Tasmanian Devil stored away in a corn crib. Had a Taz cartoon painted on the front fenders behind the wheels, Tasmanian Devil lettered down the sides. That was a cool thing to stumble upon. The crib was one of only a couple buildings left on an old abandoned farm site. A few months later I went back again and it was gone. :CRY:
Now, that would be fun to mess with the purists a bit! But I would never do that, just not that kind of guy!!!!!!!!!!!!;)Quote:
