I vore for the red / white combo (first picture). I like how the stripe matches the top.

Same here for me. The first red/ white picture.

Wow guys...thanks for the words. I know everyone is real protective of the TRUE Motion cars and its history. Thats is why I kind of think this works. The fact that Motion never did a C4 takes a whole ton of pressure off the "phantom" idea. You cant pass off something as real if it never was. It is more as a "what if?"

Now....could you help me with some design?
Would you remove the emblems and replace them with something else or leave them?

[Dave Rifkin]

I'd consider adding C4 Grand Sport flares to the car and bolt on a flip top gas cap to the gas door (just for nostalgia sake) Maybe you can photoshop those ideas to see how that would look. I would leave all of the emblems in place though.

Red/White Please

I think the red/white combo, it looks the best to me.

I empathize with you about wanting to honor something a cool as a Baldwin Motion ride.
Not only is having the money a issue for buying one, you just can't find them.

I will help you any way I can, I studied Motion cars for 3 years while gathering parts and making mine. Matter of fact, I even spoke with Marty Schorr and Joel Rosen before I made my car to make sure they would be ok with a Clone that was as close to perfect as I could make it with NOS parts. They both told me that they were flattered that so many people still revered their work and how happy they were that the younger car guys were keeping their name alive.

Baldwin Motion clones are not exactly a big hit here as most here hate the idea of people trying to scam someone down the road. I agree with why they feel that way, and once these guys know that you just love the cars and want to be a part of the community, they will open up.

There is a lot of good guys here. I have made some great contacts and have been able to get some info and things I needed from them. Just be patient and stay involved.

You can see my car in the Motion photo gallery.
