My preference is the first way Scotty did, at a glance the reversed one looks like the car is going backwards (my opinion only).

i like it the way scotty has draw it.....but maby with a white roof also???

aidan...

What about this Harko...... just a thought, slightly moved forward to highlight the rear guard a bit more.

Cant do the photoshop thing , but what about continue the flash right down to the bottom of the dogleg , then run it straight back from the rear of the rear wheel arch ? It would get rid of the white bit in front of the rear wheel arch if you get my drift.

Do you mean like this Blacky?

my 2 bobs worth.. keep the flash away from the rear wheel arch... i like your last shot at it harko... keep it simple... let the cars design do the talking

Looks like I've stirred up a hornets nest here...sorry Harko
As for my personal view on the whole 'ya can't do the Buick thing'...I ask...why not? They are both are G.M products and at least it is'nt another take on the 57 Chev flash as has been done 1000 times before.
As for the colour the only thing I might consider is a darker green fading up of the airbrushed strip.
Sorry about the wheel size in the artwork too...I rushed the things & did'nt check the scale .

I'd go with this! Looks pretty damn good, the buick look will really keep them guessing.

Hope you dont mind, it looked like fun, so I have had a crack. What program do you guys use to do this stuff. I just used "Paint", which is pretty ordinary. I had a ball doing this.......

I use Corel 9 'photo paint' ...it's getting on in years..but I still prefer it to the newer ones.

Thanks Scotty, I'll have to get my hands on it and have a play.

Yep me too on the "can't do the buick thing" Sputz ..........

Who gives a rats arse from what car the original design is "stolen" from..... if it looks shit hot and the owner likes what it looks like then to hell what others think

Like I've said previously I've always loved the '57 Buick flash and it definately suits Harkos two door EK pillarless conversion

The art work looks sweet And the white roof does help. But your first fb flash looks the best so far on the photoshop/real car.

i like the fb flash Harko and green and white color combo
What about a white boot aswell as a white roof
i have seen this done and it does look good imo
any way just a thought
its a credit to you that you have got the car to the stage where your
picking out color options for real
