has anyone ever seen, or thought about this?

i've been trying to decide how to paint my camaro... and after mulling over some usual options... i started thinking...

well... i've always loved planes, military planes in particular (i think you see where this is going) so i thought... hmm... what about a gun metal with the ww2 p-40 shark nose???

what do yall think??

Re: has anyone ever seen, or thought about this?

well.. we tried laying it all out, and after a while we (me and a friend of mine) decided it wouldnt work because there wasnt enough surface on the front end.. i could fab up a peice of metal to cover the center cavity, bu then id have no fogs or a front tag.. so im gonna just go with a normal paint scheme for now.. and maybe later i can come back to this.. i'll post pics of the paint after im done... sadly... it will be toothless... haha
