Muscle Car Graphics Article

Check out the October 2012 issue of Popular Hot Rodding to see some cool ideas for spicing up your muscle car.

My concept for a '67 Fairlane showed up on the cover!  Here's the copy from the article:

Highlander ’67 Fairlane

Although hot rodded Novas and Chevelles outnumber Fairlanes by a large margin, it doesn’t mean that they can’t be cool. With the right paint and graphics scheme, Tavis Highlander’s take on a modern Pro Touring Fairlane doesn’t play second fiddle to any Chevy. “With some Grabber Blue paint and custom satin black stripes, this Fairlane pops in a way that Fairlanes usually don’t. This is one case where the graphics don’t just add to the look of the car, but completely transform a car’s attitude,” he says. “If you’re looking for paint scheme ideas, always consider your engine as a possible jumping-off point. You can call out the engine with OEM-styled graphics or something totally new. This car has a Kaase Boss ’9 engine in it, so alluding to that with the graphics gives them purpose, which is very important. Try pulling ideas from different models and years within your same make and remember that original graphics don’t have to stay original, either. Manipulate the shapes to make them fit, call out a custom engine, or play with the colors. Just make sure your idea looks good before you go to paint!”
