ST Spoiler installed, raced Ferrari, NOT!

[mattmacklind3]

OK, so I installed my ST spoiler finally. It was real PITA, BTW. The color is a little off, but its on there and thats good. I would say I detect a "slight" difference at speeds over 60-70 on the highway.

Being so pleased with the additional 15-20 Hp from the St spoiler, I decided to race this guy.

As you can see, I did not fare well, but the wind was being managed well so I couldn't complain! LOL.

Looking Good.

I like the spoiler, kind of gives the front end a finishing touch.

 

[R6MGS]

lmao
Nice spoiler though

 

[Nunyas]

well, DUH! You needed the triple tier rear spoiler to be able to take on a Ferrari! sheesh.... people these days.... /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/jester.gif

Or you install some genuine Ferarri accessories. I installed these on my '67 GT and it added 195 HP!

HEY! What is that sig image Nunyas? You holding out on us? When did you restart the 3D MGB project?!?

Yeah, wazzup wid dat?

Interesting paint job, Steve...wonder what it would look like with a black & white checkered roof?

 

[Nunyas]

erm... that was from the archive of renders I'd made originally.... I'm startin' to get the hankerin' to do somethin' with what I currently have or start over (not much of a set back to start over at this point). I figured if I had that in my sig, it'll give me a little more inspiration everyday to get going full steam again.

 

[Steve_S]

It's giving me more inspiration to nag you about it. Why not start with something like a wheel and see how it goes from there? Then even if you don't continue, at least you have a cool 3D wheel completed you can show off or sell to Dayton. /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif

Actually that pic steve posted, I made in photoshop about a year or so ago! Posted it to another forum in a thread called Pimp my ride!

Cool to see it making rounds again!

I started with a Picture of Cedric the GT...
Colored it, added rear spoiler, ferrari logo, and wheels from a Lancia Stratos, and the side scoop is from a ford mustang. Hand drew in the ground effects. It actually took me a couple hours... And I'm still not happy... I can see stuff I wish I'd spent more time on.

[Steve_S]

That's right!!! I had forgotten that was your doing. It's still on my web site. /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/laugh.gif

 

[kennypinkerton]

After looking again.... I didn't color it (I colored one for tony similar), but I had to color the spoiler.

I like the Hemi one best though /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/thumbsup.gif

What kind of 3D model are we talking about? I have been toying with the idea of building an MGB in CATIA in my spare time. Anyone interested in helping, we could divy up the parts/workload?

 

[Steve_S]

Kenny, the original "green" mod was Cole's ricer MG rendering. That's the one you added to, and quite brilliantly, might I add.

I'm using Maya to create my 3D MGB model. I figure I'll prolly start back up after I finish reading 'The Vampire Chronicals' or get tired of reading it. I just finished reading 'Queen of the Damned'...
