Looks great! Interior came out really clean!

Very nice. What rear view mirrors are you using???

Great build. Paint looks great!

Rear view mirrors

Greening auto makes them with integrated turn signal

I'm not a big fan of that generation body, but Wow! You guys made that look great :thumbsup:

I'm just not a big fan of all polished or chrome wheels, all bling ,kinda late 90's look. With 3-piece you can help the overall look with different color and finish options, that can make this car look bad ass and compliment . Trust me, wheels play a major role in the whole overall look of the car and it's very easy to screw up with wrong set of wheels.They can make or break the looks of the car. You can install a nice set of forged wheels on a bucket and it could look killer ,and at same time you can have tons of work on nice car and install a set of off the shelf billet wheels,it just doesn't compliment all the hard work in body & paint. A set of Forgelines,NewGens,e.t.c. with satin black centers,brushed bronze or gunmetal outer barrels would set this car off .But that's just my opinion. Your work looks very nice,I just think these wheels don't belong on this car.

I totally agree, unfortunately when you are building a car for a customer, you have to ultimately use the wheels that they choose. Trust me these weren't the owners first choice or mine. These were a long way from the 15" Cragers that he wanted. After many, many attempts at talking him into a nicer wheel, we settled in the middle with these. Was there other choices that would look better, absolutely. Do these look good...for sure.

I'm glad you talked him into these. Cragar 15"s belong in trash,lol. I know how it is,it's hard to help someone who is stuck in 80's.:)

I think you did an outstanding job. I like these cars, when I was just a kid a couple of guys I knew had these and they definately got me into Camaro's and muscle cars. Cool build, FYI I like the polished wheels I don't agree they are a 90's look at all. :thumbsup:

Great looking car. Love the interior and that hood.
