Random radwood style questions

When did rota slipstreams come out?

Was satin paint a thing in tbe late 90s?

In reply to Dusterbd13-michael :

Rotas slips came out in early to mid 2000s, the wheel they copy came out in the 90s I believe. 

I don't remember much sating paint at all, aside from satin black.   But that was never much of a Radwood type of thing.

Unrelated tangent. I remember a brief period when local dealers were selling pastel colors and neon painted rims around the mid-late 1980's.

I own thoes cars

I painted my car with satin orange paint in 2000 which was right on the forefront of the non glossy paint trend. That spring when I took the car to a big show the folks from Rod & Custom Magazine made a fuss about the unusual finish and sought me out to photograph the car. By 2001 or so, it was getting reasonably common.

I don't remember much in the mid 90s that wasn't thoroughly polished. The slipstreams would be on the tail end but appropriate. That said, the shows I've been to had cars with out of period mods and no one seems to care. They've been some of the most laidback, fun car show  crowds I've encountered. 

Spoon SW388/Desmond Regamasters debuted  around 94/95.

Thanks y'all. Thinking through a radwood style 96 neon challenge car.

Debating what/how to do it. Probably should wait until we pick it up. 

duh

Wonder how hard it is to find a complete Wings West body kit nowadays?

That is SOO wrong it's way RIGHT!!!

I dound that car in white with blue stripes in Virginia. 

Way overpriced for a car full of water and that hammered (900).

Mine will be radwood half budget build. Because ultimately its a parts car.

This needs to happen. 

Radwood is cool.  Satin paint isn't.  Never the twain shall meet.

Every neon owner (#metoo) stares at that thing for hours. Even though it's a SOHC...

Somebody donate to me and i promise to build the 4 door version of the blue car for the challenge .

In reply to Dusterbd13-michael :

Where does a radwood "go fund me"account fall on the challenge budget? 

In reply to Somebeach :

At whatever someone got a receipt for paying! 

As much as I love bidy kits, i don't actually want to own one. At least on a 4 door parts car. Ir my lapis acr. Bur im sure the judges would dig it.
