Default My next project - Chevy Theme

My Father in law is a huge fan of chevy who worked at a chevy dealership for over 20 years. Right now they have 500MHz beast running Win98, so I think they need an upgrade. The computer I'm gonna build will be chevy themed. Check out my concept pics and tell me what you think.

LOL

You do know that Hemi is not a Chevy thing right.... The Hemi (standing for Hemispherical for the way the valves were possitioned in the head) was a Dodge thing.... 350, 427 ect would be more appropriate.... Putting HEMI on the side of a Chevy themed case is like putting ATI video cards in an nVidia themed case or Intel on an AMD themed...

That is what you get for not reading the title of the thread like i did. Yah Hemi not a Chevy thang...

You could always just put Chevy in place of that or give the case a name after a Chevy car he likes and then use that.

Replace the Hemi w/ something like "SS" or use 454. You could also find out what his favorite Chevy is and put that on the side. Like the others said, Hemi is a Dodge thing.

I didn't know about the whole Hemi thing. I was thinking of some model name or best year going there, but I don't know his favorite yet.

Here's more. I want to get the actual logos off ebay probably to match these. And I do like the 69 Chevy Camaro SS 427 the best.

can't wait to see the finished product. i'm a big chevy fan myself. if you need some SS or 454 emblems i may be able to scrounge up a couple. they'd probly need cleaned and painted, but if i can find them i belive they are in descent shape still.

Looks like a good plan. On the mobo side do the window horizontal and place the camaro ss emblem directly on it. Just for kicks you could heat the emblem up and press it into the plexi as well. Just some quick things to think on!




EDIT: You should also have it sprayed an oem color, that way it would be more accurate historically.

Clowned is done, Hard Drive PC is stalled out and I'm still figuring out the whole paint thing with the winnebago. Plus, I'm just planning this project. Nothing has started.
