Vstol.....love the progress! Im actually just starting a similar, yet less aggressive build on my '69 and also plan on running the ET wheels LTIIIs. Mine's Fathom green so I went with the ceramic coated side pipes but I think Your car will look really sharp in the orange with black pipes.

Are you planning on a stripe of any sort or just straight orange? As was stated above, I think some guys go a little far with the orange/black theme but I think orange with a flat black stripe on the L88 hood and black side pipes would look good with either the ET wheels, or CCW classics with a polished lip and black anodized or painted centers (see below). Keep up the good work!!!

Thanks the stripe will be gloss black but will be like the Owens corning stripe. I have it roughed out for the painter

thats right, I completely forgot that you posted that earlier....cant wait to see it....any estimate on when the paint will be done?

I would look to a gun metal color or even a dark bronze instead of black for the wheels. I think black wheels, even with a machined or polished lip, will be too much black and give you that Halloween effect. Getting a third color that's only on the rims into the mix is what I would do. I'd only put paint on the centers, too. Just my opinion. Glad the car's off to paint now. Hope you get it back quickly.

Thanks the wheels will be like these from Team III if I can get the backspacing I need

Should have color on it next week

got some color

Very nice. Glad to see the body shop moving along instead of just sitting in jail.

It will sit in jail one extra week but it looks good
