Here is the drawing behind the idea....

The door will be covered in black suede and the backing behind the sword will be fiberglass. The sword will be reversed though to have the blade towards the speaker and the handle to the right as you look at the pic. Not sure how I am going to have the backing painted but I am going to attempt to have the sword wrapped in carbon fiber.

 

that would look great

 

no offense homie but not my style !!! Wack FTL !!

 

you have to see the exterior of his car before judging, full dragon airbrushed along the car

 

It definitely flows with the rest of the show car he is building.

That will look really good in there! Can't wait to see it when its done... its gonna be sooooo sick.

 

see the car and say that again lol. the car is sickk! but im sure no offense taken to ken cuz he knows his car is effing bitchin! haha.

 

Are you going to make the sword the handle of the car? It'll be cool if it can be detachable + usable!

 

+1 Samurai road rage ftw

 

lol what would u do if someone threw a ninja star at ur car after u have had cut them off. HAH

 

LOL no I dont want to get shot by Mont Co finest! We are thinking of wrapping the e brake like that as well. The katana will be fixed to the door so it wont come off I dont the temptation to... well nevermind!

It doesnt bother me at all what people say... no worries :-) But yeah he hasnt seen the rest of the car either. LOL

It wouldnt make sense to me either with out seeing the whole picture.

 

Where's Dutch in this time of need?! He needs a dosage of "no mid-a for you'ness"

On an off-note, I'd really like to see a pic of your mad tight JDM dopeness

 

Pics of car needed!

 

Ive seen the car at CT2 a few times.................not my style, but the craftmanship is amazing!

 

+1, Ken you hear what they're saying about my trunk goodies? oh well they will be hidden so I should be fine

 

Idea: Don't paint behind the sword. You can also use some type of skin. Say snake skin dyed black/grey to go with the scales theme for the dragon? Prob about the same cost as airbrushing.

Edit: Alligator will prob give the same effect, but with larger scales.

 

I would think that he would want to match the scale of the scales with the other scales' scale? Thank make sense? LOL.

 

From what I remember scales was part of overall design, can't remember where though

 

If scales is part of the design, then why not make some real scales. Nothing like getting in a car with a dragon and being able to feel it's "scales".

This can also be done by a skilled painter with experience/skills in venetian plaster.

Edit Again since I have some ideas flowing now......maybe add a bit of the real scales to the headliner as well mimicking the "belly of the beast". And if u were REALLY baller under the hood too. lol

 

thats hot man! def flows with the theme of your car

 

LOL Great minds think alike. Bostic has ordered some sort of reptile skin for the roof, seat inserts and the doors but its not set in stone as of yet. Still waiting for the pieces to come in so we can test.
