    Looks great. What are the hubcaps? They look almost like Corvette or early Impala.

    Paint it, rust needs to be eradicated.
     
  9. I would throw money in the direction paint before I spent a dime on the other stuff. It does look good just rusty.

    The stance is killer, nice 60's look. I love those baby lake pipe's.

    The radiator treatment is COOOOL! Likewise, the nerfs. Just ***s!
    Paint on this one would really seal the deal...

    Hey, weren't those rear fenders bobbed in the first pic? Maybe trim-and-bead these rears, about 4"...

    Those nerf bars...Can't get over 'em!

    Love the car!! Love the changes!!!!!

    I see it in a light lavender pearl purple paint with white interior with dark purple inserts on the seat. Maybe black Trinidad carpet with gold flecks and laminate knobs. :D

    Keep going man!
     
  21. it would be gold metallic if it were at the '******s place, plain black interior.

    The car is perfect just looking a little worn and forlorn. ;)

    I am sure it will get there, no one pays that much attention to one then just stops.

    I like it. I am just getting ready to chop my 29, how many inches did you take out? What did you use for drip rails? Do you have a close up of the top of the roof and visor area?
    Thanks

    Thanks Duke, chopped 5 1/2" and the drip rails are stock.. Just used flat stock(will be painted) to cover the wood header and the top insert will ****-up against it.....
