    Ok.. so all the red is gone!!... I put some purple scallops off the front and rear fender and a small one off my headlight rings...My buddy is going to pinstripe them next week and throw some stripes on the trunk too.. Got my hubcaps that i bought from a HAMBer yesterday and put them on... Not sure if i like the caps better than the purple wheels :confused:.... they both look good... got new Cokers too!:)...... ok, just on the front for now:(.... Next is chrome and glass... Im pretty happy with the new look... I think Im going with this same paint scheme when it gets "real" paint next year... maybe with a purple flaked roof...:)

    That's a tough choice with/without caps,it looks great both ways.

    It does look great both ways but I think I would stick with the hub caps. Now let's all chip in and get you a windshield....then you can be that upstanding citizen you have always dreamed about:D:D. See you tommorow night.

    Those wheel covers in combination with that silver all over and mild scalloping, look classy as hell. Very nice!

  17. I dig the caps for sure. When that chrome is on there, watch out! Can't wait to see this thing in person.

    Great car... the scallops are perfect.
    I would also stick with the hubcaps. They make the car looks more classy than the painted wheels., and I feel they fit the scallops much better as well.

    Please go easy on the pinstriping. Outlining the scallops will do the trick in my opinion. Anything more might alter the overall effect.
     
  20. caps and new paint, i'm diggin it.

    Damn she's looking mighty fine. I dig it w/ caps but it looks great both ways!
     
  25. Much better, Chris. It takes a lot to make those cars stand out, especially in So-cal....yours really does now! Nice job.

    I vote for with wheelcovers, definitely a good lookin car.
     
  27. Do both, caps and spiders with beauty rings. You can change it when the mood strikes. Who says the car has to be static?
