What's The Best Paint Job You've Ever........ (1 Viewer)

[Kevin Brown]

Seems that everyone loves the PRO cars....real sweet work out there for sure...

Anything that has an "O" in it's paint scheme is tops in my book....ALL the "O" funny cars are bitchin'.....

I was inspired by Toliver's Spy vs. Spy Funny Car in 1998. The Mad Magazine car was very cool also.

...pro mod entry Joker's Wild crashed and burned during testing at Texas Raceway. The paint was an astronomical price tag that I can't remember. Had a mean looking clown on it holding a hand of cards with flake and plenty of graphics. Chutes deployed alright but jerked rear end around. What a shame beautiful 63 corvette...

Are you talkin' about this guy?

 

[jpee]

The best I ever saw was the Gold Hurst Olds Convertible with LINDA VAUGHN sitting on it

Na... Best Paint Job was Pam Hardy's Shorts... and let's not even talk about the 'cut-offs'

 

[Bullard Anderson]

I'm simple! The Cope FC was great, and I like Cruz's Interstate missile. Cruz's car just looked fast. Loved the green.

OK Maters! What's the best looking paint job you've ever seen on a drag race car.QUOTE]

I agree with Big John's cars, especially the Candy Red Willy's with the gold leaf lettering. He never sent junk down the 1/4 mile

I always thought Chuck Etchell's blue Trans Ams of the early 90's were the best looking funny car paint combos I have seen to date. Great colors, very simple and still my favorite.

Maybe its me... but don't this thread belong in the "Lounge".. Sure its great to talk about paint jobs, and graphics, even Rice Rocket neon lights....but here in the RACING section ? I'm willing to talk on any subject, but I think this section is RACING not about paint... Where did Hangman go ? It was a fun subject..

I wonder if NHRA has fixed the timing light problem that they had a 2 of "Their" tracks?

Sorry for the hijack...

John... Hangman is in the lounge, And the NHRA ain't gonna fix something at ain't broke

This may come as a surprise to some of you, but I think the BME TF car is absolutely beautiful. There's something about gloss black that just looks awesome & Don Long put some really nice touches on the chassis as well. It's about as basic as it gets, but it's gorgeous.

My favorite will always be Dale Pulde's WAR EAGLE.

 

[amanda Speed]

I would have to say probably Scotty Cannon or Mike Ashley's Funny Car or Pro Mod Car for both!!!

 

[Bobby Bennett]

Pulde's Warrior

Or, my favorite

There doesn't have to be a winner as we all have our favorites and beauty is in the eye of the beholder !
Even a pure Black or Gray Primer car can hold that distinction to a fan.
Thats great and I can respect that. BUT ! Na NA NA NA!

Oakley's Mad Scientist Scotty Cannon car is leading the Pulde Warrior car [ And to this day I'm a big Pulde fan! ].

Big John is sliding up just behind Mike Ashley's Gotham City cars.
Can Jungle and Pam rise to the occasion or maybe a certain Blue Max machine!

[Outlaw Eric]

In no particular order:

Warren Johnson's Refrigerator White Olds Cutlass
KC Spurlock's Fruit of the Loom car
Chuck Peterson's 1969 Chevelle Pro Mod when it was plain yellow.
Travis Swearingen's Junkyard Willys

Thanks to www.competitionplus.com for the pic.

I saw this car in person at Cordova Dragway Park yesterday at the Drag Illustrated Pro Outlaw race. www.dragillustrated.com

They won the race and you have to look at the car for about 15 minutes to notice all of the airbrushed details.

 

[Don]

That's easy

(note someone probably has posted this already, but I see this thread is 6 pages long, so.,..)

Dale Pudle/Mike Hamby's War Eagle, Miller sponsored Buick Regal

followed closely by The Jade Grenade...

 

[BlueStangGT]

Or, my favorite

Moby Dick was legendary around here. Ezra's purchased one of his old bodies and frame, rebuilt the car and it's probably ready to go by now. An old friend of mine helped him put it all back together, paint it, etc. I haven't checked in with him for several months... maybe I'll try this week and see if I can get a picture of how it looks now.

 

[Larry]

Are you talkin' about this guy?

That's it , really stood out under the lights!
Oh BTW this is not the same team Jerrod is Associated with , the car was from Texas!
