ok, need some help here. i wanted to paint my car flat black, rat rod style, and possibly flame it. yet another local kid just did it to a civic… so i got a new ideal—make it look like a ww1 or ww2 german plane. Yet im getting crap for pics. was more than likely going to incorporate one of the german “butcher birds” paint scheme into my car. Dont want a camo car, more of a olive or one color design, but im not ruling out camo yet… in addition, german aces put the kill marks on the tail, not by the canopy like jap/usa fighters… so my left rear 1/4 would eb for kills… so,. what style do u think i should go for? keep in mind, will leave the swatika off… ![http://www.elknet.pl/acestory/foto1/marse5.jpg](http://www.elknet.pl/acestory/foto1/marse5.jpg) ![http://www.elknet.pl/acestory/foto/hannig3.jpg](http://www.elknet.pl/acestory/foto/hannig3.jpg) ![http://www.elknet.pl/acestory/foto2/wutzgalland4.jpg](http://www.elknet.pl/acestory/foto2/wutzgalland4.jpg) ![http://www.elknet.pl/acestory/foto1/gentzen2.jpg](http://www.elknet.pl/acestory/foto1/gentzen2.jpg) ![http://www.elknet.pl/acestory/foto/wurmhe2.jpg](http://www.elknet.pl/acestory/foto/wurmhe2.jpg) in addition, have this on it… ![http://www.elknet.pl/acestory/foto2/wutzgalland5.jpg](http://www.elknet.pl/acestory/foto2/wutzgalland5.jpg) this is the Badge of the 5th Staffel, which was commanded by Wilhelm-Ferdinand Galland, who had 104 kills in WW2… i think this would tie in to my interior, as im plan on making a BASIC aluminium dash anyways in addition to deleting the door cards and making them out of sheet aluminium. I’m ditiching vw wiring in favor of painless wiring setup, so will have tons of toggle switches to go w/my gauges for turbo etc… basiclaly, be a mini cockpit…In addition, i have an 8 point cage, and 2 bucket race seats w/ harnesses allready installed. so the interior allready is in a way a cockpit… i also liek the ideal/look of how the p-51 mustangs/ and the p-40’s look. they are the usa planes w/ the “shark” smile. yet painting a german car to mimic an american airplane seems screwy… ---

although a pretty cool idea and we could cut out all the graphics on the machine or have that dude thad airbrush it i dont think many people would understand it… although you could have grandpa go into a flash back when you pass him in his 85 eldorodo and he want to dog fight on the street ---
