Starting Planning on a Gators Car

[Bruzilla]

Now that I'm wrapping up my Steelers-themed Roadrunner, I've started nudging the wife about doing another car for our Florida Gators. I told her I want to paint it to look like Steve Spurrier's shirt from the 1990s, with white on the rear transitioning to the blue alligator scales as you go to the front.

Very cool idea, any idea on what car will be used?

I was thinking of doing 73-74 Roadrunner #9, but my wife pointed out there is a frigging glut of 71-72 cars on the market right now and I may want to change up my preferences.

Your post caused me to remember this local car on eBay. Maybe an option?

Go for It! Doesn't sound like an attractive paint job but that's just me, you'll have to use those artists skills to illustrate it for us. Think blue like their Jersey with an orange stripe outlined in white would look cool?

You need a car with a good body/roof separation and go two-tone. Definitely B5 metallic over white pearl paint. Although a paint job like that really belongs on a vintage flopper body.

There are a LOT of Gators fans around here, and many of them have Gators blue vehicles with white or orange stripes, so that's kinda standard, which is why I want to do something totally different. There was another shirt that was popular in the 90s that was essentially covered with smaller scales. I thought that would look cool, but man... talk about painting and highlighting thousands and thousands of individual scales. Too much work.
