na, OG colors would have been black and white, kind of hard to keep up in sunny south Florida, she''s going to be more of a resto rod. Bigger brakes, rear end, tranny and engine. Also a lower suspension and power anything I could fit in it. Of course all this without making it to obvious and keep the classic lines untouched. BTW that burg/cream makes a big difference, when you show up to a show where everyone has a chevy + is red/white. [img]smileys/smiley4.gif[/img]

yes but yours will be modern...lol... my windshield wipers were so slow they were ho-hum.. this restoration man is putting in the modern one and leaving the original so you cannot tell the difference.. i wonder how everyone saw through the rain drops back then... lol... my car is done with the paint and i am getting more excited every day to see it.. maybe stop down tommorrow,...
