My 54: the before pictures make it look a lot better than it actually was...

I need to finish my interior and buy/install the WELD rear rims and I'm done. I do have the proper distributor now on the engine from Glenn

Please don't take offense TXOVAL, but I think it looked so much better in the before! Sad I realize vintage or stock is not everyone's taste, but the after has a bit of a late 80's/90's mod vibe that you'd see some baywatch bikini model with one of those fluro highrise one piece bikinis and big hair posing with it on a soft filter photo shoot haha Very Happy Maybe it's the weld rim and stratos silver thing...idk ....I hope thats not taken as an insult, it's all in good fun...

i don't get it. I understand touching up or facing pieces of a car that is mostly og, or og patima. But repainting the whole thing, just to fake the funk? Rolling Eyes
