    I was hoping to see the side, overall, to see the rake and the layout from front-to-rear. Looking back at the pics, I see why you keep hiding that trunk...

    Do you plan on striping the edges of the panels?

    That looks great! Much improved.

    I didn't say I didn't like your work. Go back and read anything I've said. That's not how I roll - period. I was genuinely interested.

    When I looked back, I noticed. That's it - period.

    Edit:

    Dude, you Photoshopped the trunk side in that pic! Haha! "Nothing to hide.":rolleyes: Right.

    Regardless, I don't really care what you do. I only posted the Ed Roth name and font usage out of regard/respect. The car looks better. Best to you.

    That sure is a transformation!

    Now let’s talk about those vitamins you’re taking;)

    That’s a LOT of work in a short period of time

  14. Decent start. Now just add WW's. Paint the drive train, axles and frame the same white as the body and drop what's left in the chrome tank. Then it would be a 'Roth style' T.

  17. I'm thinking whitewalls too. Mooneyes has port-O-walls in two ditterent widths that you could try for very little money. I'd probably do the widest ones on the back, and the narrower ones on the front. If you buy 4 of each you could do whitewalls on both sides of the tires. Here's s link to Mooneys whitewall toppers. https://www.mooneyesusa.com/Port-O-Walls-Wide-White-p/ww12.htm I really like the way you painted the wheels.
