Boss 429 Project: Car Design – Color

  As many of you know… I’m following Stacy David’s Gearz special project of the ’67 Cougar V8 Interceptor where he’s doing very similar build with suspension and a BOSS 429 hemi head engine.  While watching the latest show, Stacy had Keith Kaucher, Owner of KaucherKustoms, a car design company. http://www.kaucherkustoms.com/

So, after seeing Keith’s work, doing some Google searches, I knew I’d be employing Keith’s design skills.  My biggest area of concern was color choice and hood scoop design.  With the Boss 9 engine, I need lots of room.  A quote from kaucherkustoms.com ” By providing the body shop with a visual goal to strive for, you will increase their productivity by reducing the amount of guesswork involved during the fabrication of the build. The end result will be a savings of time and money because it’s easier to get where you’re going when you know where you want to go.”  I was sold.

Keith returned my email quickly and we chatted on the phone several times.  We discussed all aspects of the car’s design… i.e. wheels to spoilers.  I wanted a “period correct” wheel, but in 17″.  Keith designed a 17″ wheel based on ’67 Shelby Kelsey Hayes Magstar.  Intro Wheels will manufacture them for me.  When it came to colors… Keith sent me draft to help me choose the final color.

This is where I hope you all offer you opinion.  For each color, I show twice, once with a cowl induction hood scoop and the other with a front induction hood scoop.  Once the final color is chosen, Keith will produce a high resolution picture with all the details of the final cars, like twist hood pins/lock downs.

So, here’s goes.  Let me know the color and scoop you like best.  I’ll show 4 colors, Calypso Coral (a red/orange), Maroon (with both dark and light silver stripes), Bright Red and Silver.

Thanks Mark
