    The color change makes the wheels look two sizes bigger!
    I like it.
     
  7. I love your car, big fan of 2 door sedans and that patina and stance of your ride does it for me.

    Funny thing about that...it had cream wheels on it when my dad bought it and drove it home from the LA roadster show. He changed the wheels when he got home. It apparently was meant to have cream wheels. Glad you are enjoying the car. It's a fun driver! Looking good.

    Love that car! Some on else up the line asked if you raised it up a bit too, and it's kinda funny how a brighter colored wheel will give that illusion. Bring it down 1" in the back and all will be well. I'm a huge fan of white/cream wheels AND well earned patina.

    That change looks great. Nice sedan. Curious as to what it would look like with a copper colored wheel? Just something to pickup on the patina that is there.

    Maybe a double copper pinstripe on the cream wheels.

    Love that ride. I would like to make one a Daily driver for my next project. I even have a cast model.
