Here's essentially what I'm going for. It's not exact because I made this 3d model back in high school and don't want to take another month to make a 94-98 model haha.

That looks bad ass

haha the main reason why I'm going with that is the combination of Powder Blue and Topaz (the orange) is excellent for covering up dents, orange peel, and any paint imperfections. Besides that, yeah the gulf scheme will look badass

is it going to be wide body like that?

No Dane fiberglass bodys aren't allowed. The most I could do is fender flares.

pretty koo scheme
