- 1972 Sport Roof
Alright, so now that I have a plan on stripping the paint and prepping the '72 for finish, I've started thinking about what theme. It's a standard sportsroof and not numbers matching, so I'm not worried about concours or even making a clone mach1 or anything, so a restomod is what I'm aiming for.
So...I started playing with the idea of basing it off the 2012 Boss. Not making it look like the Boss, just taking some design cues, such as: blacked out trim, body color bumpers, blacked out grill (except for the pony), and blacked out wheels with the polished rim (maybe body color rim?). The wheels will be 17x8 Bullitts in front, 17x10 Bullitts in back. I have the NACA/NASA hood which I'll black out too. A while ago someone mentioned using the "C" stripes instead of the hockey sticks, and I like that idea.
For the grill, I'm thinking of retrofitting in some rally headlights bracketing the pony.
I know it's not standard, but I'd like to get people's opinions on it. Right now it's just an idea kicking around in my head.
Oh yeah, paint color would be a dark blue, like in the bottom picture.
