Pork Chops Posted 4February, 2017 Author Report Share Posted 4February, 2017 As @GUT says.... Wide body & no tail ? That's NQR! So only 2 options left....I'm a duck-man, I'd go the duck but if you have a personal preference for the full tail... Then who are we to lure you to the duck side! 993 C2S? For the tail I would say get one of each done and you can change the personality of the car as you like to keep things fresh.I really like all the colour options particularly Aubergine. However if I was building myself a wide body A/C hotrod I think I would paint it brown. There is just something about taking such a beautiful yet wild shape and covering it in a colour that most people associate with bland and boring.Something like the one below only WIDE and a warmer shade of brownGreat suggestion but kinda already got me a brown.

Philbee Posted 7February, 2017 Report Share Posted 7February, 2017 Although I generally prefer ducks, in this case, I don't think they work with the front and rear spoilers. It has to be a full tail or the proportions don't work.QUACK !! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It has to be a full tail or the proportions don't work.friend has a widebody with no tail (even a similar-ish colour and bumpers to the pics above!) and it works imo.but yes i personally would use a carrera 3.0L tail or early IROC whale tail Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
P-Kay Posted 7February, 2017 Report Share Posted 7February, 2017 Above works, however, has the flip top lid at speed, so best of both worlds....kindaNo ducks were harmed in the making of this hot rod?IROC tail ALL the way as duck will not suit In my not so humble opinion Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tit Posted 8February, 2017 Report Share Posted 8February, 2017 Saw a widebody IB car without a wing once. It looked a bit wrong. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pork Chops Posted 8February, 2017 Author Report Share Posted 8February, 2017 Had more support for Sahara Beige than I thought. I saw this today and I'm not sure what I think. I know it's all different but...Medium Ivory. Saw a widebody IB car without a wing once. It looked a bit wrong.Yeah I think that's the way I'm leaning. That's one of the issues with the blue car C Monkey posted IMHO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Coastr Posted 9February, 2017 Report Share Posted 9February, 2017 You can't go past a 75-77 turbo tail on a wide body. Iroc tails are too much IMO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pork Chops Posted 27February, 2017 Author Report Share Posted 27February, 2017 You can't go past a 75-77 turbo tail on a wide body. Iroc tails are too much IMO.You could be right. Right now it's your suggestion (per my brown SC above?) or an IROC tail. I'm thinking the latter at this stage.Top 5 follows. There are 2 versions of the Vaillant green as they seem to vary a fair bit. As you can see 4 are 'of a kind' and then there is Fraise. I've gone off Rubystone as it's so anchored in 964RSs and overall I think Fraise is a more delicate, period correct colour. And an IROC colour to boot. But it does scare me a little. My wife says if I'm scared of Fraise I should feel equally so of Tiffany Blue...Paint will need to be resolved in the next 2 weeks and I think I'll get some proper paint samples done so I can see them with confidence they are correct, and experiment with them in light and shade and see how they vary. Then make a final decision.I've bought a 3.6 (standard-ish and rebuilt), LED headlights, 370mm momo 3 spoke (I'll recover the traditional wheel too), and LSD, WEVO short shifter, airconditoning system, brakes, and wheels have all been selected and will be ordered shortly, or as needed. I'll consider the clutch, flywheel, headers, exhaust, seat and interior next but the interior is probably the only thing that will be a challenge.Getting there in terms of planning.In terms of what has been done, Skunkwerks are assisting me in project managing this whole thing and are getting the suspension soda blasted and powdercoated, sourcing 3.2C brakes which will be re-built, and getting the car on its feet so it's a proper roller. Hence why paint needs to be chosen shortly as the underside and wheel arches, engine bay and boot are all going body colour. So they'll flip it over, spray its guts, bolt the suspension on and then we can keep working on it from there when it's on its feet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OBRUT Posted 27February, 2017 Report Share Posted 27February, 2017 Go bold with the Fraise. Too many blue 911's running around.I'm glad I went bold (purple) on my last project. Lots of positive feedback (well at least to my face...). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pork Chops Posted 27February, 2017 Author Report Share Posted 27February, 2017 Did you find the vaillant colour code?Yes and no. I have a Pantone code for the Vaillant logo. But how that relates to the paint they used in the 70s on Kremer race cars who bloody knows. I hope the painter has some tricks up his sleeve. Go bold with the Fraise. Too many blue 911's running around.I'm glad I went bold (purple) on my last project. Lots of positive feedback (well at least to my face...).Got a pic? Just for fun.

Pork Chops Posted 27February, 2017 Author Report Share Posted 27February, 2017 As yes you posted that earlier. Looks great on that car. I think Fraise is another level again tho... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think Fraise is another level again tho...Yep, "next level" should be the aim.I think the risk in using the Valliant colour is it is always seen in combination with the (bright) stripes. I think that is why that scheme overall works (or at least is very memorable). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Philbee Posted 27February, 2017 Report Share Posted 27February, 2017 Fraise Hate to disagree with the @GUT but the whole rubystone & fraise thing smacks of 964 to me..... as you mentioned earlier @Pork Chops.Go the greens, just not tiffany unless you're buying a diamond!

GUT Posted 28February, 2017 Report Share Posted 28February, 2017 If you go Fraise, you'll never ask yourself, "is this 'out there' enough". If you go one of the greens or blues, you might just be left thinking it looks nice but...If you're going to all this effort, I say make it scream!Pop up to Sydney this weekend for some inspiration.
