The chrome reverses I got are really rusting bad, I need some ideas for wheels or hubcaps. I know Astro Supremes are everywhere, but I like 'em, and they're reasonably priced. I'm hoping the trim breaks up the vast expanse of purple, if not I might put some scallops on it. Don't laugh but I saw a drawing in Burnout of a purple sled with bright green scallops on it, it looked real good.
Man, I bet youre excited. I love getting to the ***embly stage. Its fun to step back and see how cool everything starts to look as you put the tail lights in, "ooohhhh"... install the molding, "aaahhhh"...get the wheels and tires on, "hell yeah!" Congrats on the progress bro, it's going to be a Killer car! Hoping to have mine in paint this weekend.
My vote would be to use steelies with these caps. You could get away with whites on that year car. These are found Here... http://www.hubcaps.org/chev49-64.html
The car looks great course I am rather partial to the color myself. Man it could be mine with clear... hahaha!! My 53 is pretty close to that color on a good sunny day, except mine is suede with a dark purple flake roof. One thing about flake is it sure is difficult to get a good photo of how it looks.
I dont have a good shot of it here, but I have better pics at home. i will see if i have a good shot in the daylight for ya, on here I only have a dark shot with it breathing some fire.
Man oh man, a guy doesn't come around for a while and you go and paint your car. Looks great Nads, you've got to be excited knowing there is light at the end of the tunnel. What's the difference between pink and purple? ...........the grip..........
alright Nads, now tear O-town up till i get back near there..... don't leave it overnight on the wrong end of orange blossum trails and keep the rubber side down now that you got all that work into it.
Yep, I'm kinda partial to purple myself......looks GREAT bud! and I think Roadstar meant to say bondo BOOGERS
