We started this project:  We wanted to stagger with 19/23 Holis, but the 19 look too small for the big wheel well.  So the Vanatage 23's on all four corners might be better?  |

Looking REAL GOOD.
I have to agree about the HOLIS.
They look alot better , more of the musclecar look. Also the ride height in you last pic , makes it look real bad a@#!!
Nice work so far..
keep us updated on your progress...

The wheel centers painted look good. The bird is cool.
And YES, that is a lot of purple.
Are you going to do a matte black hood? If so, that will break up a lot of the purple.
Or a VERY fine pinstripe of black , along the upper body line, from front to back.
Or matte black form the lower body line to the rocker panel. Below the black decal. That would be an accent & give the car a much shorter vertical height.
Anyway, the car is looking SMOKIN'. Just keep us posted.

Good move on painting the wheel centers. I just returned from a car show, and these are becoming more popular I think whereas last year I never saw them - I like their look.

Painted the coolant and wiper bottles and battery. They were molded to the body.  |

The photo shows work to be done, the battery facing the fender needs painting and the "wiper fluid" needs to be straightened...unless its being bounced around!

We started back working on this and added the BMF, night and day difference if you use a razor blade then a knife. We mated the body to the chassis and set the wheels.   |

We went with an all black rear surround. Experimenting with lighting as well.   |
