Dave Johnson here. Car-nut, self proclaimed auto historian. I prefer flat black sleepers. Good excuse for me to not to finish the shiny side. I haven't built any customs or rods. My best effort is my 78 Dodge D-100 short with a Buick 455/400 turbo. I about came out of my skin the first time I drove it. Not because it was fast, but because I might find some unsuspecting soul to dust! Flat Black of course. By the way, I've been in Texas for 11 years, but I grew up in Sandusky Ohio. ...Later
