Cuda Tail Panel Treatment

[pastortom1]

Here's a couple of shots (one with flash, one without) of a new tail panel treatment I toyed with this afternoon on the 67 Cuda.......I got REALLY tired of seein' that ol' argent color on the panel......it was just plain boring. Different light lends varying color changes.......A deep red metallic, with a very slight candy coat, then a "mist" of metallic red for an even metallic coat, and 2 coats of clear lacquer.

Something different. I like it!

Yeah Brother, that looks sharp!

I did mine black, and replaced my mangled upper and lower trim with the Metro parts repop trim which makes it pop even better.

I just need to get new tail light bezels/lenses to look really good but I will spend the $$$ on other stuff for now.

Money, money, money.

Looks great Tom!

That would really pop if your red area was the same material as the tail
light lens.

I wonder what it would look like if you taped off and painted the pin striping in the upper and lower trim pieces and tail light bezels that same red color.

I think you might be onto something there Spaz

You got me thinkin' too on that one.......I have to strip the anodizing off that trim anyway in order to buff them out, SO, maybe I'll let ya' know what it looks like...........I think I'll run some red pinstriping tape around it first to get a feel for it though...........8)

I think it looks great, but the car color makes a difference.

Holy crap!
That notch looks like my car from behind, even fooled me for a second until I noticed the bumper was painted and the rear tires look much wider.

I give your new tail panel treatment five stares :thumleft::thumleft::thumleft::thumleft::thumleft:
That looks great with the white and the Hurst treatment is a eye popper for sure :love10:, I never seen this before today Tom :scratch:
I need to keep up better around here, I miss sooo much around me.

Happy birthday pastortom1 :smilebox:

Love it, looks just fantastic... I would have never thought of that, guess I'm getting less creative in my old age...

 

[goldfish65]

It looks great.
