flatcat19 Posted November 11, 2016 Report Share Posted November 11, 2016 Another dumb idea... Was staring at a photo of a flared DR30 for too long... Started wondering what that black and red two-tone would look like on a 1200... Problem is, the best place to two-tone a 1200 is at the body line. Which is height-wise even with most flares, so you don't really get the humps to break it up. Then remembered about the race cars flares that come about 4-5" above the body line... So? ^_^ Next level to this bit would be, instead of the lettering that comes on the DR30... That says 4 VALVE DOHC RS TURBO, maybe some gold letters that say LONG LIVE GATO PLANO :rofl: 1 Quote Link to comment
Ron1200 Posted November 14, 2016 Report Share Posted November 14, 2016 Started wondering what that black and red two-tone would look like on a 1200... Sorry for the bad photo... It's showing the abuse of 35 years stuck to a refer door. 2 Quote Link to comment

dimlight65 Posted November 20, 2016 Report Share Posted November 20, 2016 How much were those pans? I think I might have to do the Chickenhawk "right" if they are cheap enough. Wait, is this one of those things we discussed at the shop while my eyes glazed over? Quote Link to comment
datsunfreak Posted November 20, 2016 Author Report Share Posted November 20, 2016 How much were those pans? They were $174.70 shipped for both sides. is this one of those things we discussed at the shop while my eyes glazed over? Probably. Seems to happen every time I start talking about this car, since it's just a lowly sedan and all... :lol: Quote Link to comment
dimlight65 Posted November 22, 2016 Report Share Posted November 22, 2016 I don't know that the sedans are lowly... the coupe's mongoloid step-brother that the family doesn't discuss perhaps, but they are equally 1200-y... sort of thing. 3 Quote Link to comment

KiloTango1200 Posted December 22, 2016 Report Share Posted December 22, 2016 Well, when you put it that way... You and I have a 1200 Sedan and Dimlight65 doesn't. We all have a Coupe. I think he is just jealous that he is not a member of the Exclusive club. 1 Quote Link to comment
njoz1200ute Posted December 22, 2016 Report Share Posted December 22, 2016 Haha. The Deluxe club. I guess the Coupe is just for chumps. Quote Link to comment

datsunfreak Posted December 22, 2016 Author Report Share Posted December 22, 2016 Got some material to use for the door panels. Mine are toast, so I'll make some new ones and cover them with this. Thinking about doing a rear seat delete and make some cover panels for the rear covered in this. And maybe the headliner too. ^_^ 4 Quote Link to comment

datsunfreak Posted February 4, 2017 Author Report Share Posted February 4, 2017 Found some wheels I really like in the gold center polished lip vein, and been wanting to use the Fiat 500 pale green on something for a long time. Reminds me of the stock 510 Cactus Green, so... 2 Quote Link to comment
