Trying to decide whether or not to add graphics or pinstriping to the wayfarer any suggestions?

maybe just a touch of bone colored striping, but not much

as far as graffics, umm other then maybe some nose art on the lower rear of the front fender id say no.

my two cents

Graphics?!? NOOOOOO! Scallops could work. Pinstriping would be good.

I meant something like scallops or flames, not gaudy 80's style graphics. YUK

Tinbender, do you teach at SCC? I read your post about a restoration class. I'm 25 years old and just graduated from EWU with a biology degree, but I kinda have cars on the brain. Do you have any classes on fiberglass? I have an idea for a new product, but would like to have more background than magazine articles before I start building.

i think the car looks pretty clean the way it is.

That's what I was thinking too, but friends of mine (who all have flamed cars, mind you) keep telling me it needs something to break up all the blue.

That's a great lookin' ride as is but I could see scallops to break up the blue.

Don't listen to your friends if you like it leave it alone. Your car is unique, keep it that way. I like it clean, like how it is. Sometimes a car is successful by just being a well detailled car. Anyone can pull off a flamed car and grab attention (CALM down I am not trying to knock anyone!). At most I could see a little bit of pin stripe work but not a whole lot. Meis Van der Rohe said it best "less is more"...

my .0002 cents

Thanks guys for the compliments. It's been a long time coming getting this car done, but I've still never seen another one. I guess we picked a good color and we should just stick with that. BTW, this car was homebuilt for $15K
