Test fit 510 goon front spook

[rosso]

Not sure about adding a front spook to the goon project so did a test fit today. I saw a bunch of these at Canby and wasn't crazy about them in body color.

 

It's fiberglass of unknown origin and does not have brake ducts. ?

 

But I rather like the black.

I like spooks.

 

They make the car look 10x better and probably let me drive the car 10 mph faster than otherwise. I like that spook design, did you get at Canby?

 

I agree on the color, too. Body color spooks are weird on street cars. Sometimes the historic 510s can get away with it.

I'm not sure how it'd look with your particular color, but they look nice semi-gloss/matte black and trimmed in body color.  At least, it looks nice on the white/cream colored dimes.

The spook came with the car from my son and he was thinking of adding a little splitter on the bottom of it. I am not so sure about adding anything more that will stick out or lower because I don't want to break it. He seemed to think it was a BRE 1200 design?

I don't think splitters have been around for more than 20 years. Spoilers yes.

I might dig the black if all the other black was darker.  Right now it looks out of place.  Clean up the grill, black out the bumperettes and gloss the tires for a photo shoot!

A quick down and dirty edit, but you get the point...

Thanks for suggestions, it's a project car at the beginning of life - all may come in time. Firsties I needz a motor, and clutch, and rebuild brakes, gets tires, battery, carb, headers.

 

My first 510 had black grille center and I will do that since it was the best.

 

All I know at this point (after the test fit and looking at it for a few days) is I like something black better than all solid body color. Maybe as Brandon photoshopped (thanks).

Getting there....

Remember to black out the valence that shows behind the grill!!! Nothing worse than a nice black grill will body or primer color showing through it
