I've been really wanting to recreate some OVERHAULIN' cars on MCLA for a while now including some cars that were only ideas on paper and never made it to the actual car that the Foose & the A Team were creating. I've loved this show since it came on and I really can relate to Foose's designs because other than a few minor differences (i.e. rim depths, spoiler options, different colored roofs), I have the same exact taste in cars. Anyway, I finally got to sit down and start working on them. 
I'm going to keep using this thread to list more as I go. Next up after this one will be the Gambler 514 Mustang which took a long time to get the right color but it's underway. I'm also about 90% complete on one of the SEMA Challenger designs that never made it on to the car (concept drawing) and am redoing the famous light green/silver/black Challenger. I'm going to put many hours into each car to hopefully have some of the best recreations on the game. Here's the first one completed, well, for now anyway. 
1) This Chevelle is supposed to be Dominic's Monte Carlo (an early '70's Monte) This car is beautiful on the show and I put alot of time into making sure the colors look right. The pinstripe is a little more bold but that's because you can't really see it in the game if you make it too small. I chose the hood because it was the flattest one that still allowed the graphics on the hood and I really like the look of it, even though the real car just had a stock hood. The other thing I did was where it would say Monte Carlo above the rear quarter panel, I put a chrome simulated Overhaulin' emblem. I also experimented a little with trying to make some of the distinct Monte body lines but this is where there may be further work to it. All in all, I think it turned out pretty nice. Let me know that you guys think. Note: Not all the pictures have the Monte body lines.
2nd set of pics:
1st: new in garage pics of the Monte (Chevelle). I'm just too much of a purist so I changed the hood even though the stripes don't go all the way down the front and made the pinstripe thinner like it is on the real car. I also made it somewhat readable now that it says Overhaulin' where the Monte Carlo emblem would go. I haven't done it yet but I did decide to, at some point, try to shade in the Monte Body lines in better. It's already done for the bottom but not anywhere else yet. I also changed the rear bumper so it didn't look completely like the stock Chevelle and put Bum Rush on the license plate (name of the episode). I've really been looking for a real picture of this car online but it's seeming impossible. I might just take a pic of my TV but not sure how that's gonna turn out. Any comments (good or bad) welcome.

Please keep in mind when comparing mine with the real one that the lighting in the real garage really brings out the blue in the car but without that lighting its sometimes almost gray. If you look at the final pic of it at the gas station at night you can see the blue more.
