If you are building to the time period of cars like the Burgarin car you do not want flake it was not being used during this period of customs. It came quite a bit later. The Packard taillights would be cool probably not cheap but cool!
Yes man. I think it will look super good. And it wont be to much. Posted using the Full Custom H.A.M.B. App! I know they were not useing flake in this period of time. That came torward the points only show cars that werent driven. Everything i have for this is mid 50s amd older parts. The packard ligjts arent cheap but worth it.
