Your car looks great from every angle! Is it registered as a home build and what kind of wheels are those?

Bob, I got the wheels from Craigs list and had them redrilled for the Chevy bolt pattern. Originally were on a Chrysler van of some type. Two are perfect, two have some rust. Don't know what I'm going to do with them.

Kerry, are going to clearcoat the aluminum or paint it? Also, are you going to have a donor windshield cut or go with Lexan?

Oh no, no where near good enough for bare aluminum. Not even close. It will be skim coated and painted. The windshield will be flat laminated safety glass. I should be able to have it cut locally.

For years, I've been thinking it would be 65 Chevy pale yellow. It's almost cream. Lately, I'm leaning toward metallic silver.

Kerry,

A metallic silver with a few black accents would look nice on your build.
