Beau, that Tiki green is the shiz, definitely keen for something like that
Yeah, ive got seat belts that were installed somewhere along the line. I cant justify not having them, it only takes one little accident and your fucked.

hmm i might have something in 1965 form soon, waiting on phone call
Hmmmm............... Well the shell has all been stripped back to bare metal and etch primed and so have the drivers side doors. Hopefully in the next day or two, ill get the passengers side doors done.
For those who know me, youll know that im a very indecisive bastard, hence why i keep finding more colour schemes. Let me know what you think. I personally really like both, as well as the green and silver paint scheme that i had previously decided on haha. I think im slightly more partial to the first design, but i like the idea of the maroon/burgundy with a burgundy flake and some striping like the third pic
Well now that im on uni holidays i have finally had a chance to work on this thing. At the moment the everything has been stripped back to bare metal, etch primed, and primed. Ive welded up/shaved most of the trim, as most of it looked tacky and over-the top and personally i thought it detracted from the long flowing lines of the car. I had to redo the lower 20cm of both a pillars due to rust, and the c pillars which had been dodgly repaired in the past with shit loads of bog and metal filler.
The other day i got bored and decided to shoot the roof, came out looking pretty sweet, however, for anyone, who like me has never sprayed a car before, DO NOT stand on a milk crate when trying to shoot the roof. I leant to farand slipt, causing me to land on the freshly painted roof. It all looks sweet now after a lot of sanding and repainting, but it was just a paint in the ass.
The roof still has got quiet a bit of work to go, as it will be receiving metal flake lace panels and perhaps some scallops aswell. With the background of the panels being done in a dark wine-red colour.
Anways, here are a few pics.

Yes! Colour is dope! Now do just as that corona wagon, color match the wheels, chrome trim rings, wide whites. Maybe some 60s Ponty dogdish caps or baby moons? F**k widened steels or any of that shit, it doesn't need to be flush, thats just inappropriate. Just get it low,low,low,low,looow.
So damn coooool.
Dont worry, its not getting widened steelies. Probably just some nice 15x7s or 15x8s wheels, with whitewalls. Whether i go wide whites or skinny whites will depend on the wheel i choose.
Originally the inspiration for widened steelies was this car. Ive met him a few times, 15x15s on the rear and 15x12s on the front. The front is mini tubbed and flared, and the rear is stock, but flared. Oh, and there arent any bags, that is the height he drives it at.
Love that last one.
I almost bought one of these, 327, 3 speed auto, ultimate cruiser, Sold before I came up with the cash though. The metallic red you chose looks awesome, cant wait to see this finished!
