Thanks guys. No, the rims are already powdercoated black, so that will stay. I think with enough chrome and polished aluminum it will have enough contrast. I'm thinking white grille insert and black and white interior too.

To be honest, I just hate bodywork and when I spent 8 more hours, sanding in 96 degree heat and sweating into the work early this week, I decided I don't want to take any more time to get this body good enough for shiny. That, and I am not a pro painter, so my chances of getting a shiny job really nice are slim to none.

I really see why guys like Hotrodpaint and others get so much money for a good paint job. Just in supplies alone I have a bit of money, not counting the time it takes to do it correctly. My hat is off to those guys who do it day in day out.
