    I'm trying to decide on a flat or satin color.. Black, dark green, dark blue, maroon.. It's going to be a single seat, roll bar, 'moon' tank, pressure pump and louvered floor with numbers on the door (I think).. What color you guys think?? Thanks in advance.......

    Hmm... how about a satin (or shiny) dark blue? I think that would look great!

    First off, I want to tell you that is an awesome-looking car. But I have a question, and I'm not trying to be an****- I'm genuinely curious: what does the water do when you're driving in the rain? I know that's probably a really stupid question, but I'm more into the customs and don't know too much about rods. Does the water pour right in or does the forward motion keep a lot of the water from entering in? I wouldn't think you built this car to drive through the rain, but like I said I'm curious what would happen.

    The obvious color choice is gloss black, can't go wrong with that.

    800 ! that's alot of louvers. Looks great by the way.

    I'd go for a shiny (not buffed) paint job. Especially if your going for the racer look.

    'Strange Agent', I'm hoping the rain will just run out of the louvered floor........

    great looking coupe dude....im a big fan of 28/29's on their proper frames!
