    what about some Work Goo-cars for this? what ever wheels you put on this, they have to be 14/15" prob 15" is better for tyre choice?

    i think a super lazy 454 would be more suitable as a 350 is more of a 'racers' engine?

    Id never seen those work goocars before, they dont look too bad. Yeah, plan is for 15s, unless i find some 14s at a bargain price.

    Would love a 454 with a nice big 727 or 904 torqueflite, but try affording one when youre a full time uni student, shit isnt gonna happen. Maybe down the road, but not anytime soon

    Gee that blue one is pretty tough...But yeah, exception to the rule I reckon. This is going to be fairly rad with the colour on.

    Well, im meant to be studying for a physics exam for uni at the moment, which of course means, huge amounts of procastination, and therefore an update on the Parisienne.


    Flaked the lace panels on the roof, but still need more layers of clear and colour sanding, as i used massive flake.


    The flake is sprayed in 3 panels on the roof.


    Im then gonna lay some lace over the top of the flake, and spray through it with a red wine pearl mix to give a faded lace pattern. The lace i chose looks like this:



    While i was waiting for the roof to sit for a while before i could apply more clear and the lace, i decided to strip the dash, and paint it.

    Before paint (after welding up shit loads of holes, and smoothing the dash out):


    Primed:


    Almost re-assembled:



    Also decided to smooth the firewall, and weld up most of the holes in it, as it was originally filled with rubber grommets and and had more holes than a block of swiss cheese.

    Before:


    Primed:



    Coloured:



    At the moment im just sorting out all of the wiring, which i will hopefully have finished in the next week or two. Once that is done, ill finish off the roof and start stripping down the motor to see what its like inside, and then decide whether to rebuild it, or just fork out the cash for a new engine.
