Seventies Musclecar colors

What would look good on my "what if" Omega?
As in what if there where an Omega musclecar option?


That bland yellow has to go.

I'm guessing you aren't open to other color palettes, just the ones you listed. I'd go with Black and ghost white/blue flames.

Very open, I just added the poll for the heck of it. Not thinking flames go with the musclecar theme. I do like flames, probably not on this one.

I would also look at doing a 68 H/o tribute set up . The 74 gto has some stripes that could be added easy and taken off if if you didnt like them.

a buddy of mine built one orange wth 70 w30 style side stripes and i gotta say the car was breath taking, the lines of the car...and the color just worked..people used to comment on the car allllll the time...

he put a 69 HO scoop on it, and a wing....(which i have) that JC Witney sold in the 80s...and people thought it was a factory car of some kind..he put 74 GTO marker lights in a screen grille..just and awesome looking car...

had super tricks..which i didnt like, so when i had the car i put old black torq thrust on it..it was a cool car...by the time i got it, it was rusty and eventually got parted...but even ugly and rusty, you could really see the potential the car exuded...very muscle car looking...

I've tried and failed to use 'paint' and add W30 style stripes on an Omega.
I need to get photoshop I guess. I can envision it and think I'd like it. I really like the marker lights in the screen grill idea. I will lose the part of the grill that rolls over the top.

Some decent looking Nova's, Apollo's and Ventura's that all seemed to get just a bit more muscle than the Omega. Not to say there's not some hot looking Omega's out there!
