Body side trim - opinions wanted - Page 2 - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

I like the look of the second rendition of the spped lines. It really does bring the old school look. I think with some tinkering it can be made to look just right.

I do also like the work the 19gmc63 did. I've always liked the way ghosted in accents look. Maybe try the speed lines in the same fashion? If they don't pop out quite as much it may help them blend in to the body lines instead of trying to exagerate them or compete with them for your eyes attention.

**scotts62** · 11-01-2009, 09:50 AM

I like that, good work Andrew

Vernski · 11-01-2009, 02:27 PM

Hey Andrew put an old classic flame job on it for me I don't think Markb will mind. Thanks---Vernski

Oh man that's really trick. Not exactly my style but I love the way it looks. I guess even old guys can learn something new! Thanks for putting the effort into it.

Your ideas sound great. I'll put some effort into another rendition. Thanks for the input.

Mark, if you need any help with your renditions, LMK.

Vernski, post a pic of the flames you like that I can u se as a guide, and I'll try and put something together this evening. Sorry for the thread-jack Mark.

Yeah Andrew look at this one it's post # 5 at the very bottom left it's a different color but the shape of the flames are right. I would like yellow fade into orange and orange fade into red in satin colors high-lighted around the outside with a narrow yellow stripe if that's possible and thank you for your expertise.---Vernski

19GMC63 · 11-01-2009, 03:54 PM

are you talking about the silver one with the snorkel hood?

markeb01 · 11-01-2009, 04:20 PM

If I were to paint flames again I'd probably pattern them after the Ed Roth flames on the sides of Tom McMullens old 32 roadster.
http://www.streetrodderweb.com/featu.../photo_10.html

Flames can really be tricky. The ones shown on my old 54 were the 3rd layout. Earlier attempts were too stubby or thick and looked more like the backbone of a dead fish.

They're are a lot like louvers, it's a lot easier to do them wrong than to have them come out perfect.

protrash64 · 11-01-2009, 06:10 PM

I've looked at this thread a bunch of times as its gotten longer and longer. I think I have to agree with Vernski and I think the lines(original pic) would look good extended across the door and the fender trim would complete the look.

Why did you pic three? Are you trying to emulate styling off something else? Sorry if I missed it in all the text.

The photoshop kicks major butt!!

My original concept was somewhat of an homage to the old 48 Chevy Fleetline fastback. Always loved that body style, especially with the fender skirts, also wearing the trim. Didn't know if it would "work", but that was the intent.

THAT LOOKS AWESOME!

19GMC63 · 11-02-2009, 12:13 AM

Vernski, I hope these are the flames you were talking about... that silver truck with the snorkel hood is the only flamed truck I see in post #5. If not, not a big deal... I can do another one.

And Mark, here's one with some flames like the Ed Roth ones on that deuce.

Outstanding on both renditions. Thanks again for the investment. I know it takes some time to pump these out. Regards, M.

HIGH FIVE PHOTOCHOPPERS!

Those look awesome. I'm never gonna be able to decide what to do with mine with all these brain teasers to deal with...sweetness!

sailed2japan · 11-02-2009, 11:48 PM

Those both look fantastic, but in my opinion the ed roth style in the second picture work better with the overall look of the truck.

*lakeroadster* · 11-03-2009, 08:21 AM

Mark asked for opinions and man he sure is getting them! As a huuge fan of old school flames I am digging all the posts to this threads.

IMHO Mark's truck is killer because of all the subtle changes. The old school fade type and the Roth style flames, while very cool, are kind of "me too". Perhaps phantom flames like the one's shown below would work?

Mark, Your original idea of using styling cues borrowed from Chevy shoeboxes is very unique... don't give up on it!

**scotts62** · 11-03-2009, 09:07 AM

Yeah i like the top pics with the flames, looks good on the truck IMO.

61TWUK · 11-03-2009, 12:06 PM

These ideas are super cool.
I have a black 66 stepside justr like Mark's, with the same problem.
I am looking for some idea to breakup all the black but something a novice like me can do at home.
I have toyed with two-tone, scallops, stripes, etc. but nothing looks quite right.
I have even compared white on black and copper on black but again something seems missing.

You guys with photoshop work wonders and these were indeed helpful.

TJ's Chevy · 01-21-2014, 12:33 PM

Mark I must say I like your truck just the way it is. I do like the flame idea...but in my opinion it looks good the way it is. It's yer truck man! You do what ya like!
