    That is a terrible picture to judge a color from.
    The idea sounds good, the picture is not a big plus or minus.

    I would say that's all going to look really really nice together. That engine color is pretty slick and is going to look great with a mixture of polished and unpolished aluminum. Whattaya got for heads?

    That'll be different. I've seen that color on a car, but never on an engine!

    Very 60's! I love it! Are u going to polish the heads and intake? A polished timing cover and Mallory dizzy would pop on that mill.

    Love the engine and the front views of the coupe, but those four tail lights kinda don't look right to me. Never seen one done like that, even in the 60's. Sorry, just my opinion.

  23. Well that didn't hurt it any. Extra parts made it look better.

    Your coupe sets perfectly I love it. For a 60's look the tail lights are good. I believe the aluminum intake and heads don't mix with the gold engine.

    Love the color and the motor looks great. Not a fan of the tail lights though. Maybe if it was just 2 with one on each far end.

    Were you trying for a tail light treatment similar to the 58 Bel Air? I like 50 Pontiac lights, but 4 look a little busy. I build mine how I like them and you should do the same!

    The engine looks even better in person. The tailights would be cool if wired so they all come on with the brake but only the outer ones flash with turn signals. The car has a cool 60's vibe to it
