Bee Driven,

Thank you very much. You have given me much to think about. I may need your help to figure out how to implement.
Then there is the other problem: I'm not a near good enough driver to look so good. If I do very much of that 'ol JP Stein will ride me forever!
The wheels I will be using will be the yellow 5 spoke Revolutions and a silver set for street tires. Selling the six spokes.

Good call on the wheels jim. Those 5 spokes are beauties. What a cool car I have to say, I would love to get a chance to see it some day.

JB Weld is holding strong so far. Doesn't look pretty but I just don't look at it!
No trades this week Bruce, but you never know.

Nick,
Can you work your magic to turn the top of the rear bumper black (part that would be rubber if stock bumper)? I am thinking of Jeff's idea that the bumper tops might be black instead of yellow. I do plan to replace the front with a stock type fiberglass bumper when I can find one. Maybe you could also black out the top the current "snow plow" as well?

Jim,

Are you planning on selling the 6 spoke wheels? How much are you thinking? I may be interested.

And I think the car looks great as is. Understated is always the way to go, in my opinion.

Hi Jim,
I have two front images for you to view. The first one is just painting,and striping the upper of the fiberglass air-dam,and also closingout the openings with a nice mesh to give your front a more quality detail look.
Nick.

This second images shows the same paint,and striping,but with added detail of Decals. The snow-plow front does not look so bad anymore. What do you guys think?....... I will post the rear view this wednesday. Jim maybe you could take more photos of the front,and rear of your BEE outside, it would make for better photo retouchs..... Nick

Yes...very nice Nick! I'm afraid you're going to be bombarded with requests for graphics counseling now (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/biggrin.gif) The snowplow looks almost good with your treatment, but it would be nice to see a more stock bumblebee type front too.

Nick, here are a couple of pics taken outside. Please work your magic. I really like the front treatment you did, flowing the stripe into the bumper. I am going to try to duplicate it. If it comes out anywhere near as good looking as your work I may just forget replacing the "snow plow".

Now, what about the rear? Thinking of painting the top "rubber" area black. Other ideas?

Hi Jim, great photos of your car! This first image of the rear will match the painting,and striping on the front, but the striping will be difficult to make clean with all the little surface changes.

This image tries to create a more forgiving way of making the stripe work without bring it down into the bumper.

Nick...you have a very keen eye...a very tasteful execution. The proposed layout loses all of the incompleteness of the current paint scheme. Not completely sure of the rear scheme yet, but its getting there.

Jim...I vote to keep the 'plow front...with Nicks clever flowing stripe integration, its just radical enough to say "I am a race car" and just refined enough to nod to the cars heritage...
