Scirocco Madness: Continued

So after a good night's sleep, I'm thinking we can continue with this project idea. In order to make it official, I decided to come up with some sort of a graphic. Doing this I learned two things:

One. I am just not very good at coming up with logos and making things flashy in Photoshop. I can get by, but don't knowt quite enough to make it interesting. So for right now this will have to do. I will be commissioning Blaksquirrel to come up with something better in the near future.

Two. I was reminded of the other big reason I was swayed more in the "pro" direction of this project, rather than the "Con." This is a non sun-roof car. I'm not a fan of sun roofs in general. All they do is leak and add extra weight, so I figure this is an ideal shell, even more so than most that you see.

Anyways, here's a picture of one possible direction we may go in. Stripped down, very basic, very low. As I mentioned in the comments section of the last post the car is going to be resprayed. The colors chosen for my stank-a-dank graphic might clue you into the direction I'm going in for that one.
The other option is to do a Berg-Cup inspired nut-job wide fender type of thing. I'm no body man, so this is probably a poor idea, but it could be cool. Well we'll see. In the meantime I'm busy thinking about possible motive power choices. I'm leaning towards an atmospheric engine since I'm not a huge fan of turbo cars, but if I go the Berg-Cup route for looks I'm not sure anything under 400 horsepower is going to do. Decisions, decisions.
