I LOVE that look....but unles your going to never drive it and keep it in a air tight garage those white rubbers will be white for about 3 days. I had a set on a 65 i had and LOVED them for the first week then nothing kept them white....I HATED them in the end...and they were West Coast Metric so they werent garbage!

I really wish I could say "oh yes why haven't I posted those yet!" But unfortunately it's still outside under a tarp  I was going to put it in the paint booth and sand some bondo today, but my american cars required attention, namely the PAIN IN THE ASS valve cover on my AMC Eagle, of course they had to route all the emissions hoses over the valve cover on one end and the fuel line over the other end, so you have to take it all apart to get the valve cover off, then I have to scrape the stupid gasket goo that someone gooed on there  . This of course with wires and hoses hanging and getting in your way all the time . I HATE THE 80's well, their emmissions systems at least  . But yeah, work should be starting again soon!
On another note, I've been playing with bugselecta and I think my favorite so far is this:
Can't decide though, bumpers or no bumpers. If bumpers, definately over rider bumpers for me.

I'd get high centered  I live in alaska, our roads are so shitty and wonky. My dad's got a stock Oldsmobile Aurora which scrapes ocaisonally, STOCK hahaha. Also, I think those visors look like those silly ones that you see people wearing while playing poker

Well, you've seen how mine look, right?
That one was smashed up against the body (apparently the PO had gotten hit), so I refurbished the bumper...not OG but it still looks pretty good!!  |
Haha, well Mine are better than that Im wondering if maybe you could like hammer and dolly them somehow without screwing up the chrome.

I'll let you know a secret... 
I'm spray paint happy...It's spray-on chrome look-alike...
but I get your point.
And is it me, or is the left taillight higher than the right one?

On mine or yours? Mine's possible, the fenders are just kinda set there, the blots aren't tightened down. Also, IMO the spray paint chrome doesn't look like chrome, more like aluminum

Thanks! But I still can't drive it. Oh well...I'm beginning to get restless about it sitting there, and I actually have some free time now. So, that means that I'm gonna get the floor in relatively soon! With my dad's help... . And LeviMan, I love the color of your car! Are you going to paint it all that color?

The old turquoise? or the Black and whites up above? I think I'm gonna do the black and white, we actually happen to already have some black left over from another project (I think like a gallon) it's a chevy black, the same as what's on my '99 S10. Then the sexy white side panels.
On a more exciting note....
I GOT IT IN THE PAINT BOOTH TODAY!!
Yeeeesss, work will commence soon! Today I have things to do though. But yes!! I'm excited.
