Opinions about slant 6 decal
I came up with a design a couple of years ago very similar to your 2d illustration. I used the Dodge Scat Pack bee as the basis of my design with a couple of extra pipes cloned in. If your car is going to be old school, I prefer this design.
If you're going new school, like using 17" wheels, I like your first illustration with pipes on the drivers' side and no magenta disc.
A couple of comments:
- The front fender area is getting too busy IMO with Valiant, Scamp, and the bee logo present. I suggest passing on the Valiant.
- The bee is associated with the Dodge Scat Pack. Plymouth had the Rapid Transit System.
