1970 Chevelle. The graphics are from waiving an aceytlene welder set on rich over the panel then clear coating it...very popular back in the day and done right (and not too much) it looked good.

Car had 14 x6 or 14 x7 reverse(deep dish) wheels up front.Looked good in this case.

Car had that just right stance.

BTW: this car was in an Auto Trader mag several years ago still looking like this. It was being sold from the guys estate.

Dave, the guy painting my hood told me last week he used to do a lot of &quot;smoked&quot; paint graphics using that same technique. Cool stuff, I personally think it looks better on the top side of the car mixed with some stripes or lace or a mural.

Cool patriotic Nova. These flag paint schemes were very popular in 75-76 when these pics were taken...Spirit of '76.

Another car with a good stance.

Possibly pro streeted or maybe even a pro touring style car at this point with multiple prior owners who history of the car is gone...but that being said it's also amazing how many of these old magazine cars are in their original form locked away.

That is how the maroon Fravel 68 Camaro is to this day.

Wow...and Dave and John are still working and painting yet today....35 years later.

Re: Dedicated Day 2 Thread
 

Yes on the battery and the flag isn't correct on stripe and star quantity.

All types of tastes were around then as are now. That never changes and makes everything better. ...but even then, never liked the too high/tall look unless it was a truck or the front end of a true early gasser. We preferred the &quot;stuffed&quot; tire look. If it sat taller, just enough to clear the rear tires (no rub) with a rake was perfect.

That is cool. Looks like a all out race car. Look at the 68 Camaro in the back-of.

Beautiful Nova! What that parking lot shot lacks is 2 long black lines, and judging by the bent rear leaf spring, you know how to do it!

I really like this green camaro-Im having my '67 Firebird repainted&amp;choose a Hunter green base with a Mystic Metallic added to paint scheme-I played with a model of my car-to see how it would look-I came up with my own designs-let me know what guys think-Is is &quot;DAY2&quot; or &quot;Street Freak&quot;http://i852.photobucket.com/albums/a...r/S5000056.jpghttp://i852.photobucket.com/albums/a...r/S5000054.jpg

Re: Dedicated Day 2 Thread
 

The paint has holographic properties-I just hope I can have the actual painter who is doing the job on my car to copy this design I came up with-I was gonna lay the stripes in white instead of black-but I didnt have any white paint left-Let me know what you guys think.......http://i852.photobucket.com/albums/a...S5000067-1.jpg

Re: Dedicated Day 2 Thread
 

Crazy-cool, and I think &quot;Street Freak&quot; would be exactly the correct term.

Those 14x8s make the car, especailly with the repro 'stones. You wouldn't think wide 14s would look that good with 70s but it's RIGHT ON. Love it.

The subtle flares really help make the uber-wide rear meats look good on there. The up-all-around stance nails it too. If I had to change one thing it'd be making the sidepipes match the length of the rocker panels--engine/headers permitting, of course. Oh, and it would have a wild Rat up front!
