RC Aerodyne Product Packaging

It's not always cars, cars, cars at HCR.  Many times I'm working away on projects that are extremely cool, but just a little different.  RC Aerodyne's latest Chaos RC Helicopter lineup is one of those projects.  They called on HCR to provide artwork for the packaging that would help the product really stand out from the rest.  Check out http://www.scaleflying.com/ for a look at all the kits that RC Aerodyne has to offer.

Refined Cruiser: 1939 Dodge

Not only are Bob and Stef Barnett building one very cool '39 Dodge, they are also the nicest people to work with!  Here's a hot tip: Any clients that feed me are guaranteed to get special attention while I'm working on their vehicle.

The '39 already has updated suspension, brakes, and also a 3rd Gen 5.7L Hemi backed up by a Dodge 5spd automatic.  It's definitely going to drive great, but how will it look?

I sat down with Bob and Stef to discuss the overall look and feel of the car and we came up with this theme for the paint.

The two-tone scheme keeps a classic look, but with updated tones that will play off of the rich interior that is also planned.  

Pure Vision's Latest

Pure Vision is at it again with their latest project car, and an HCR rendering is helping to lead the way.  At the 2010 Grand National Roadster Show Pure Vision showed off the bare metal body of their newest halo car, a '72 Camaro.  The second gen will feature a healthy dose of carbon fiber goodies from Anvil Auto including a newly designed hood, bumpers, fenders, and spoiler.  Keep an eye out for updates on this incredible Camaro!

Black Betty: Camaro Performers Project Car

Camaro Performers magazine editor Nick Licata had me design up a simple stripe for their 2001 Z28 project car.  You can follow along with the buildup in the magazine or online at CamaroPerformers.com.

Atlantic Autosport Grand Am Challenger

Atlantic Autosport has called on HCR to provide design assistance for their newly formed race team.  Two new Dodge Challengers will be fielded in the Continental Tire Sports Car Challenge next season.  Dodge along with Petty's Garage will be the team's sponsors and will also provide engineering support.

I have worked with Mikah at Atlantic Autosport to develop the current livery seen here.  Since Richard Petty is directly involved with the team he has allowed us to use his historic racing colors and the number 43.

Atlantic Autosport's Petty Blue Livery Design

To get the press excited about this new venture Atlantic Autosport vinyl wrapped Richard's personal Challenger and took it to the 2010 SEMA Show in Las Vegas.  After the show, the car was taken to Jay Leno's Garage for a taping of Jay's web series.  Although the focus of the video is on the Petty's Garage limited edition Challenger series, you still get to see a little bit of what the real race cars will look like down the line.
