    I'm thinking more like Milk Chocolate.

    It looks like a candy bar now. lol Crunchy Chevy shell with a nougaty Leopard Print center. :D

    Don't get me wrong, it looks very well done, it's just that brown ain't a color I yearn to see on an automobile.

    The lace looks good though. That's tough to do on panel with that much crown.

    Thanks guys. I picked up a visor for it, but its got the side mounting tabs cut off. I am going to make some new mounts for it and see how it looks. It may look amazing, or it may look like ****. We shall see. I got some skirts also that may or may not make it onto the car.

    Well I painted and installed the visor. I am going to redo it though because I faded in an edge on the lace to see how it looks and I like it better without. Here are the pics with the faded in edge, as you can see it doesnt match the roof very well. I;ll probably pull it off and repaint it tomorrow.

    I would ditch the visor all together and have a subtle scallop pinstriped in on the top of the front fenders that maybe goes around the headlight. Pretty steller looking car though.
     
  15. I know alot of guys don't dig visors on custom cars. On an unchopped car I think they look good. On chopped cars the detract from the look of the car. I say keep it. I would ad scallops also but I'm biased. Todd

    I really like the visor. I think it will look better once its repainted.

    I love brown... and I love that when you tell someone you want to paint your car brown they look at you like you're a retard.


    Nice work.
