    You could go with a dark midnight blue, looks blue in sunlight, black at night, best of both worlds!

    I like the 1st one which I assume is your original. If your tired of that look, my 2nd choice is the red wheels on the last picture. I also 2nd "The Moose" as being such a helpful guy. He works wonders.

    Wrench Time...:D

    I am surprised with the Custom Option you didn't go chopped but I'm tossing this into the ring for your perusal...;)

    Are there 2 Models of Coupe in 47?



    :rolleyes:... @BigO



    :rolleyes:...One more this is a 41 but it shares a similar profile....BigO if you don't feel these are applicable give me the word and they're gone...I know you had a 39 Coupe on the Custom Board and it had a lowered lid so perhaps you may reconsider...

    I would in a heartbeat but I don't have a shop anymore (but I'm looking for one) and the cost, it's hard to pay someone to do what you've done yourself many times before. BigO

    Well that would be the cheapest way to go since that's how it looks now, didn't think of that pic being a 3rd choice but now it is. :D Thanks
