Is this to much bling ?
 

Donated all my trophies to a cub scout pack for their pinewood derby, I though I would get one last photo of them:)

I bet a lot of purists hate the color combo on your sport coupe, but I love it...:)

I have had threats from the more radical factions:) Hey but the car show people love it:D

I like it!

All that green reminds me of my Mopar! Nice pic Dusty.

Re: Is this to much bling ?
 

I like the colors.:)

If that was my car, the only change I'd make is to remove the stone guard.:D

The Cub Scout Pack is a good place. As you have most certainly found out, the trophies all have an "applied" name/award plate that can be easily pried off with a pocket or x-acto knife - and this replaced with another brass plate which the Scouts will likely do.

I still have my trophy as "Eagle Scout of the Year - 1973" from which the label has dropped. Hopefully the values instilled have stuck a little better.

I do like the Congratulatory Citation given to me at that Court of Honor - signed by none other than Richard M. Nixon.

There is some irony in that.

And the colors are fine - they're YOU.

Yo, 28, Dog:cool: here,
"HATE" is a strong bad word, surely NO ONE uses it here???? Buster T.:cool:

Re: Is this to much bling ?
 

Definitely not a color combination I would choose personally, but it doens't look bad at all!

Dusty. I've been waiting for you to post another good picture of your car . My grand daughter is 12 and loves the model A's, her favorite color is Lime green . I told her about your car when you first posted long ago but couldn't find past results, thanks for posting this picture. have fun modelAtony Lafayette,la.

Thanks all, I did remove the placards, I made a mounting plaque, routing a nice edge and placing a round framed photo of the car and trophies at the top. After retirement and impending move south I didn't really have the room and I did see the need to keep them. It would have been another thing to move and Lord knows I have enough junk...at least that's what the wife says:rolleyes: When I complete the mounting plaque I will post a photo

And some people won't do to cars shows because they have the wrong nut on their bolt?

Re: Is this to much bling ?
 

Wonderful car -- the white walls even match the white top very well.

Young innocent children about 7 or so, are many times the most outstanding consultants for choosing different color combinations & different aesthetic designs etc.

Just ask them for an opinion, listen, & begin to learn something valuable-- no preconceived concepts or opinions, no bias.

Appears many older folks begin to hate specific colors no matter how displayed.

Yo, Mike V, I saw, mounted on a wood base, two "stick" figures, running like the wind, one made from a square nut & welding rod, being pursued by one made of a slot head machine screw & the same welding rod. (Thread size & pitch not important)
The caption on the brass placque read, "NO! not without a washer"! (With the proper finish, of course!) Bill W. (Dog's:cool: still in bed!)

Boy! you're QUICK! The one I saw was Flat Black, (Raven?) & definately a Machine Screw.
Are you up real late, or real early? I'm goin' BACK to bed!
