You can simply emboss flames.
Flames are back in and always appreciated by numerous people.
Oh yeah, That yellow XPF-614 plated Torry needs air ducts.

Stinky, how about the old GM-Holden symbol (the one with the rounded square outline) on an angleof like 20 degrees facing into the flames, and having the flames surround it. Also, I suggest you simplify the flames a bit, make less of them and enlarge each one. Just my 2c

No buddy, we're talking about air front air ducts.What ya talking about Willis? Are we talking front air ducts or fully sick stormwater pipes out the back?Oh yeah, That yellow XPF-614 plated Torry needs air ducts.
You know, they follow on from the holes in the air dam. They're designed to cool the front disks down with flowing cold air. Anyone who's serious about racing (an LX torana/SLR lookalike etc) would use them.
Without them, the air dam is just a superflous piece of plastic stuck on for show.
If you'd like, I can help you locate a supplier to get some.
By the way, you seriously didn't use stormwater pipes at the back did you?
Cheers.

I'd be inclined to say a Lion theme that is done in blue, detailed in dark and light shades of the cobalt blue with any darker detail in black.
Lion head and part torso on the bonnet.
Cheers,
Rick.

Meh, that one's just for cruising. What price can you get the brake ducts for, there is another one the build, an SL SL/R 5000, with lots of Commodore gear.No buddy, we're talking about air front air ducts.

I love driving the Slurry, and she sure is nice on the track, but being what it is, it is and can only ever be a conservative effort.
Stormwater pipe, you serious?

So anyway, back to the topic, I'd be interested in knocking a set of these up for anyone who is interested. I have templates for either 2 or four door LC/LJ Torana.
Catches -
1. I am learning the trimming trade, but I would say I am quite good now and being taught by qualified tradespeople.
2. If you are not in Adelaide, there will be a freight cost.
3. I won't be able to start for a week or four, due to other TAFE projects.
4. There would be some material costs.
Advantages
1. Free labour
2. You'll be helping a Torrie freak learn the trade.
3. Choose your own design.
First in best dressed, PM or email (should be in my profile)
Cheers
