El Camino project car

[Secret Chimp]

Heh I really ought to do that with le big car. Everybody knows what a Miata does already.

[hotrodalex]

Do ittttttt.

Also got some on the hood and coming off the marker lights.

[hotrodalex]

New shift knob, matches the pinstripes pretty well.

[Secret Chimp]

I like the old-ass tach. Is it driven off the distributor too?

[hotrodalex]

Yup

Nicely done. Now, just don't go overboard.

[hotrodalex]

Ha yeah, I don't plan on getting anything else. Here's the hood and side. The side is like a little hidden gem.

[Laconian]

Tramp Stamp!

[hotrodalex]

Well she can be quite a bitch sometimes, and I'm sure she can pick up desperate guys at a bar...

[Cookie Monster]

Not a fan of the pinstripes.

[hotrodalex]

Not ricey enough?

Should have done them in plastidip! (Actually, that'd be pretty cool. Don't know if it would go on neatly, though)

Modern stereo head units just don't look right in a classic car.

Luckily, you can get classic style head units with modern technology that will look right at home in your vintage ride!

Ehh. 2-3 times the price and still less functionality (no usb, satellite radio, bluetooth, etc)

Lawl, and they make the car look less nice (trashier). Just imo, doesn't matter what I think.

[hotrodalex]

It's an El Camino, it's already trashy.

Personally, I like the Jimmy the Greek style pinstripes on a satin black like that, rather than the more popular Von Dutch style, but those are still well done, and add to the car. Its a flat black El Camino; a little bit of lowbrow looks good on it.

[hotrodalex]

Tommy the Greek pinstripes are like these, right?

[Soup DeVille]

Tommy the Greek pinstripes are like these, right?

Yes. Tommy the Greek; not Jimmy, ex-sportscaster guy.

[hotrodalex]

I like those too. Don't know of any guys that do them, though.

I don't like the stripes or shapes on a car.

I do like stickers though, which just means I'm a ricer.

Yes, because mass produced vinyl stickers referencing pop culture are so much cooler than an artform that produces something that's unique and takes genuine skill to do right.

[Rupert]

I appreciate pinstriping like that, but I don't really like it.

[hotrodalex]

Pinstriping my El Camino

[Rupert]

Damn impressive, especially with all that noise.

Sorry I don't like the same things as you, bro the

No, that's cool you don't like it: I'm just obligated to give you shit about it.
