Need advice about the Magic Pumpkin

Post by MHooch » Wed Oct 11, 2006 12:17 am

I ordered some black magnetic stuff to make a JOL face on the Pumpkin...but I can't decide how to do it. Should I go with a JOL face (eyes, nose and mouth) on both doors, or should I put the eyes and nose on the front hood and use the curve of the hood (the natural "smile" of the Beetle) to make the mouth? What do you guys think? Promise I'll post pictures :lol: Thanks!

I vote for on the front hood.

Hmm they both sound like good ideas. But I think that doing them on the doors would be more noticable....from people driving and such. So I think I would have to vote for the doors.

I say do them all in different faces. Like a scary face on one door, a silly one on the other, a classic face on the hood. Can't ever have enough Halloween joy!

Personally...I would do it on the front hood, cause that is the biggest surface, and the front is shaped round, where the sides are just flat, and if you do more than one-it will be too much.

I vote for the hood, too, when I imagined it, before you even said you were doing it, that's where I saw it. I was also thinking that an orange convertible eclipse would make a perfect Magic Pumpkin, Jr.
I saw a werewolf drinking a pina colada at Trader Vic's. His hair was perfect.

I like both ideas and they both have great points. On the side doors people may notice it alot more when driving by people walking or parked but having it on the hood is great too as just imagine the person in front of you looking in their rear view mirror.... LOL :lol:
