Design Ideas

Sometimes figuring out what you want can be mind boggling. Hopefully this page can help. Over the next few months I'll fill it with great ides and pictures to get those creative juices flowing.

• Gear Head Charities Car & Bike Show at Carolina Harley
• Charlotte Auto Fair Pictures
• Star Cars Museum
• Conversion kits

 

Charity car shows are always cool. This one was put on by Gear Head Charities and held in the parking lot of Carolina Harley. It was a beautiful day, there was great food and as always great design ideas....

Carolina Harley		Silver Leaf This adds a nice touch
The grille too	Large engines are always a hit	Clean & Simple	Bare steel
	Hidden flames If you love flames but can not bring yourself to spray them on the outside...why not apply them where you can hide them....Sort of like a tatoo...

Here's a brief look at some highlights from the  Charlotte Auto Fair Spring 2005. We went on opening day to beat the crowds, so all the cars were not there. We were looking to talk to a few venders. Below are a few cars that caught our eye. Click on the images to enlarge them.

Rainy Day At the Car Show	1/2 Beetle - 1/2 Bus This was really nicely done!	1/2 Old - 1/2 New Great idea if your bed is rusted beyond repair.
Frenched Antenna	Louvers	Can a hood scoop make any car cool?
Painted Graphics Always a nice touch!	Eye Ball If I say this was eye catching, will you forgive the PUN?	Big Rims Works well on some cars.

Below are a few shots from inside the "Star Cars Museum" in Gatlinburg, TN.

Conversions

Some cars just seem to stand out in a crowd while others blend into the background. For the scope of this section I will focus on two cars the Tri-Five Chevys and the 1st Gen Mustang. If you have done much reading on our site you know we spend a lot of time researching what's out there. Well, here's the result of our latest searching:

Tri-Five Chevy Convertible Conversion

 

All required sheet metal is now available to transform any 1955, 1956 or 1957 Chevy body style into a convertible. Obviously the easiest conversion can be done to a 2dr hard top, but with a few more parts and time even a 4 Door Post can now be made a Convertible.

• Mustang coupe to fastback

Imagine turning your 1965 , 1966, 1967, 1968 or 1969 Mustang coupe into a Fastback (sportsroof).  It is now possible. We can sell you a all of the sheetmetal required for the transformation. Don't have the welding skills? --- No problem we'll be happy to do the hard parts or go as far as a complete turn key car!

 

Complete fastback body shells are also available Click here for more details!

These conversions are not the only ones out there, they are just the ones we get asked about most often. As the saying goes "Anything is possible, given enough time and money." If you think one of these conversions are right for you contact us and we'll help you.
