so what do you all think, should i do it?

 

[Ben Drinkin]

I gotta say neither...

Maleficent: adjective
1. causing or capable of producing evil or mischief; harmful or baleful

Magnificent: adjective
1. making a splendid appearance or show; of exceptional beauty, size,

Any reason I can't be both??

it looks possible for sure... the flares and the bumper integration are going to the toughest things...

for sure, I was thinking of stopping the flare at the body line there on the side

If you got the $ and the skills (both of which I lack) to pull it off, It'd be awesome..

have ya looked in the mirror lately..

hum.. might make them look a bit unfinished...

I dont either, but may as well learn

 

[dukeboy440]

true, wonder about squaring the fenderflares somehow to make them flow with the lines better

 

[ScampMike]

that front bumper mod though - yikes. You would have to cut up a 74 and a 69? and weld them together... you're keeping the "beak" and yet making it appear more late 60's

you could maybe make them smaller so they start and end at the body line

maybe, it'd be fiberglass or aluminum bumper anyway.

Certainly... That's when I got the 'magnificent' part!!!

I like it Chris, just a lot of work to pull off. Call Foose for pointers!

If YOU like it, build it. I like the shape as pictured. Just make the valence a separate piece splitting it back and down somewhere around the bottom corner of the bumper. That's how the front of a lot of new cars is done. Have you done fiberglass work? That's where you will get really $$$ if you ain't doing your own. I messed with it a little years ago. Was working on a spoiler(which was far simpler than what you are looking at), but never finished it. That does look like a lot of work to do a piece like that.

i've done a little bit, nothing to this scale. I do like it, only thing I'm looking at changing up in the drawing would be smaller flares, i think they stand out too much, I'd blend them in a bit and make them a tiny bit smaller.

What valence was on the Demon posted yesterday? Was that a purchased valance? Are you thinking buy one and mod it, or full custom?
