ottocycle Posted January 15, 2009 Share Posted January 15, 2009 Back to the fountain of wisdom. I noticed a lot of the members here are artistic and creative types and thought I would ask for ideas. My car has been modified so much from the original state that I now consider it my own. When people have asked me what it is I have not had a new name for it. Last fall I was doing a track day and realized I could hang with cars above my paygrade, and it came to me: "This is heresy. This combination of steel and plastic should not be able to do this". So I thought I would call it the Heretic. I am posting this to ask anyone who has the talent and inclination to come up with a graphic or logo and a font for the word Heretic. I would like to put a name on her and perhaps an emblem. Any takers? It might be fun to see what comes up. Thanks in advance, Cheers- Dermot http://www.usa7s.com/aspnetforum/upload/272869002_101_0769.JPG http://www.usa7s.com/aspnetforum/upload/272869002_101_0769.JPG Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lowflyer Posted January 15, 2009 Share Posted January 15, 2009 That's a Fisher Fury, isn't it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Innominatus Posted January 15, 2009 Share Posted January 15, 2009 I could whip something up for you, no problem. Nice looking Fury, by the way. Did you get that from the US importer (Galek? (sp.?)) If so, how was the order/build process and support? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Innominatus Posted January 15, 2009 Share Posted January 15, 2009 Okay, here's a quick 'n dirty stab at one. Playing around with a stylized H using the "forked devil tail" idea. Hey, it's a Heretic, after all. As a lot of old marque logos include the town where they were built, I figured a state location would be apropos. Not sure where you live (MA? NJ?), so I took a guess. http://www.usa7s.com/aspnetforum/upload/144736819_heretic_fisher_fury_logo_2.gif But then again, given how you've properly upset the heavier iron at the track, arriving as you did at the Heretic moniker, how about this? Might over-torque some folks' BVDs, though. http://www.usa7s.com/aspnetforum/upload/1901169487_heretic_fisher_fury_logo.gif Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ian7 Posted January 15, 2009 Share Posted January 15, 2009 I vote for the second one !! love the idea of torquing up the "pose-ers" reminds me of when Burt Levy published "Montezuma's Ferrari" with his chili pepper logo.... had Maranello's lawyers onn their rev limiters :hurray: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ottocycle Posted January 16, 2009 Author Share Posted January 16, 2009 Thanks guys, Well I guess it is time to break out the sawzall and fiberglass again. Obviously not modified enough! Yes it started life as a Fury, I bought it in England with a Rover V8 and no legroom. The changes I made include replacing the rear axle and brakes, the front hubs and brakes, modify front of frame, change the engine/trans to a Hayabusa setup, new dashboard and instruments, paddle gearshifter, modify hood and wheelarches, move pedals 13" forward, change pedal assembly. That is all I can think of for now. I am mocking up the hardware to put a turbocharger on her but I will have to make a hole or blister in the hood to acomodate the plenum and additional injectors. I really hate to make more fiberglass work for myself and would love to find a clear lexan blister about 14"X3" or bigger that I could incorporate, like the 50's sports racers that I love. Any ideas? As those who have done this stuff before know, when one is making changes with unclear outcomes I need to redo a few of the details to make them more efficient or aestethically pleasing, but overall I am very happy with the outcome. Thanks for the input on the design and please keep the ideas coming. Cheers, Dermot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ottocycle Posted January 18, 2009 Author Share Posted January 18, 2009 Thanks guys for the input. I appreciate your design input and understanding of what I want, but I agree with the idea of torquing the the BVD's of those with "more serious cars". Aside from my having lots of room for improvement on the driving side of the equation, it is not in my personality to pour gasoline on a fire and an inverted Tutonic shield or prancing horse would be a lot less cordial an impression than I would like to make. Think "sleeper". Somewhere between the bottom logo and a pink teddy bear : ) Innominatus and Martin, I sent you guys a PM a few days ago but do not know if you got it. Let me know and I will send it again. I got no confirmation on my end. Thanks, Dermot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scannon Posted January 18, 2009 Share Posted January 18, 2009 I agree with the idea of torquing the the BVD's of those with "more serious cars". They may be more expensive but none of them is any more serious (and fun) a sports car than a Se7en. Skip Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ottocycle Posted January 19, 2009 Author Share Posted January 19, 2009 Skip, I agree. Point well taken. Cheers- Dermot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Innominatus Posted January 19, 2009 Share Posted January 19, 2009 It's not so much whether the cars themselves are serious, so much as whether their respective owners are over-serious! Innominatus and Martin, I sent you guys a PM a few days ago but do not know if you got it. Let me know and I will send it again. I got no confirmation on my end. Got it -- I just sent a reply back. I will have to make a hole or blister in the hood to acomodate the plenum and additional injectors. I really hate to make more fiberglass work for myself and would love to find a clear lexan blister about 14"X3" or bigger that I could incorporate, like the 50's sports racers that I love. Any ideas? Paul Frere approves of your idea: http://www.usa7s.com/aspnetforum/upload/1258450279_frere_tr1960.jpg One thought for getting the right shape in the Lexan is to look around in the local aircraft modeler's community. Your application might be too big to be done using their methods, but then again, maybe those guys have ways of vacuum-forming Lexan up to that 3"x14" size? The shape of the hood blister and the sliding part of a 1/12 scale P-51D canopy are not at all dissimilar. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scannon Posted January 20, 2009 Share Posted January 20, 2009 Here's a motorcycle called The Heretic Ti. It costs a mere $140,000 and comes with a titanium frame, carbon fiber wheels and much more. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TonyI Posted January 21, 2009 Share Posted January 21, 2009 If you WANT to push buttons on people You could use the font that Hennesy uses Heretic, Heresy Nice tastfull script on the side or on the rear Either a wow color that stands out or a slight change of tone (silverish but not a bright silver) http://www.hennesseyperformance.com/ cheers my 2ct Tony Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
