  3. Thanks. It's got the stock front end with cut coils and the droped Fat Man uprights. The rear is custom made leaf springs and blocks with Air bags on the stock rear end to lift it up when I need to.

    nice job bro, very original colors!!
     
  5. I love the colours, but then I would........I did a similar combination on my (English) '59 Ford, 4 years back. 2 great minds think alike:)

    Adding the chrome and aluminium trim helps the colours match.

  6. Thanks.
    Your car look prety cool. Adding all the trim on mine has really made to colors pop.


    Maybe we should start a club for only blue and gold cars.:D

    Looks nice, take some time and enjoy it. Remember drive it like you stole it.
     

  8. Thanks, the trim really does make the difference.

    The club sounds great, but where would we meet? :rolleyes:
     

  9. Ya, it's a bit of a drive.... Even if we meet half way.

    Where in Scotland are you? I was over there in ‘94, it’s a nice place. My mother-in-law is Scottish.

  10. Well, a year after I painted my car it still isn't quite done. It's at a Mechanic I know's shop right now getting the engine tuned up and the interior is in boxes waiting for the car to come home.

    These are a couple pics I took the other day. (before I got the wheel covers back from being polished)

    Before you know it, both of them will be asking for the keys !!!!!!
     
  29. Your car couldnt be more awesome. You took a chance on the color and it made your car a stand out! Great vision =)

    And the kiddo pics are great ... I hope you keep this ride long enough for them to actually take it for a spin themselves.
