The Black Money Pit

For the folks not on facebook.

First infusion of cash into the Black Money Pit

Was just about to say it looks fucking phenomenal until I saw the shit box plate! So with the shit box plate it looks ok

Hold on a second, does the whole car have gold flake or is that the lighting?

very nice. you still think you would rather have bronze monkey wheels on that now that the graphics are kinda that color? or would you go custom wheels instead?

From that angle, I can't tell what that is on the hood. My guess is a mosquito wearing goggles. Original, but a bit confusing.

it's from your generation. lol.

Black Sabbaths "Never Say Die" album and tour shirt artwork.

it's a bomber pilot flight/gas mask.

Oh, I forgot about that.

I am a Black Sabbath fan, but I didn't buy that album since it didn't have any good songs on it. Black Sabbath's version of Led Zeppelin's Coda. All the shit that wasn't good enough for the previous records. Recording studio sweepings.

The album cover was cool, though.

I liked your first guess.

Got those plates just for you Shawn.

Yes Phantom Black is a pearl coat, and the sucker glitters all over when the light hits it right. The bronze paint is metallic as well. Makes it a pain in the ass trying to get clear pictures of it in the sunlight.

As for the wheels, yeah I'd like to have something brass monkey like in color, but I won't be buying a set of them unless they start to turn out a 10.5 width rim. The car needs wider tires in the rear than you can get on the stock 9.5 inch wheels.

As for the artwork, yeah my guess is a lot of people will have no clue what it represents, which is fine with me.  And don't forget Johnny Blade off of the Never Say Die album, which I think is a very underrated song.

Better shot of the hood before it was put back on, easier to see it.

So is the Phantom black stock or something your painter added? Who did the airbrushing?

Phantom Black was the stock color. Psychotic Air did the work, same guys that did the paint work on my GWE. I like their work, and more importantly I trust them with my cars. They had the Hellcat from the week before Christmas till today, and they treated it very well the whole time. Kept it locked up in their shop all winter. The reason for the almost 3 months was that it took a good six weeks to find a paint we agreed on, and then after that, well it wasn't a rush job cause the car wasn't going anywhere on icy salty roads.

Very kool, did I mention how good it looks, lol

Nope, just mentioned the White Sux plate lol

.. these guys will look like amateurs compared to what Mo & I will be doing with that car..























.. coming Summer 2015

Very cool Paul and the artwork is killer, congrats.

I can't believe I'm about to say this, I agree with Shawn about the plate, just not for the same reason.

What a gorgeous paint job. Can't wait to see it

Paul, it looks fucking phenomenal in person bro.
Wonder how much better it looks when it's clean, lol.
Had to bust your balls about that

Thanks

It actually got washed this afternoon after it got cloudy out. First time in a month though. It's gonna be interesting trying to keep it clean when the birch tree over our driveway starts dropping pollen.

I was checking out your new wheels. They BARELY clear those front Brembos.
