How do you like these?
Oh Tim, as far as when I'm gonna get it painted, I'd have to see if my painter friend *coughTedcough* can do it.  |
I think the Burgundy looks the best. It has a factory stripe look to it. You might consider also doing the Burgundy stripe over the fender lips. I had a 1966 White Monte Carlo SS, and it had the worst case of factory paint(ORANGE PEEL) I have ever had on a new car. GM paint back then was the worse crap, some areas were so thin, that if you rubbed compound on it for about 3 seconds, the primer came thru. Also put in a Comp Cam, Edlebrock maniford and Headers, Art Carr Trans Kit with a torque converter and other small goodies. Stock it ran a 15.75, and with over $3,500 in goodies, it ran a 15.05. Should have pulled the 305 out from the get go, and swap in a 350. Sold the car in 1988 and bought a 1989 Turbo T/A that with some TUNING, was running 12.18 @ 115 mph. Miss THAT car!
