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

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

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.
I started with nothing and still have most of it left.

:oops: Looks like I've stirred up a hornets nest here...sorry Harko :oops:
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 :oops: :lol: .

Scotty :D
I'd go with this! Looks pretty damn good, the buick look will really keep them guessing.
Speed and Style........... One day I'll get the speed bit.

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.......

:roll: 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 :shock: :shock: :shock:

Like I've said previously I've always loved the '57 Buick flash and it definately suits Harkos two door EK pillarless conversion 8) 8) 8)
I can't think what to write here so this will do.

The art work looks sweet 8) And the white roof does help. But your first fb flash looks the best so far on the photoshop/real car.
