Be gentle...

The car is still far off from being done but just trying to get everything bolted up

Ugly.........

I like the color...but I'd have to see more pictures to form an opinion.

Thanks for being honest

Needs wheels and some chrome. Body color bumpers on musclecars went out with heartbeat graphics and 3rd gen Z28 wheels just can't fill up the wheelwell on a Chevelle but Tony's right, the color looks good.

Dude it's not that bad,it looks like you just got started.Chrome the front bumper and it looks as good as any 70 chevelle in the early stages.We do need more pics though.

The painted bumpers, I could go either way. If you like them painted, leave them painted, either way looks good.

The rings around the headlights need to be chrome. The black just doesn't look right IMHO. *edit* just noticed they're missing, not blacked out :captain:

IROC wheels I don't like.

Color looks good :cool:

The blacked out grille with no emblem looks GREAT :thumbsup: I really like that.

The '68 Biscayne in the background needs to be in my garage. I want it. :_paranoid

Couldn't have said it better myself.

Those IROCs arent staying I wouldn't drive it in public with those wheels, on no way, plus they wont fit in about a week when I get my 13" brakes on... You cant see the back but I'm already sporting some black 17's to fit over my 12" rear discs. I was just wanting to see what you guys thought of the front of the car... I'm using BMW ellipsoids and Mercedes W123 fog lights. I painted the bumper because I wanted to see how it would look, welded up the bumper bolt holes and grinded all the chrome off.

Good eye on the '68, its my dad's but its my project to fix up.

I kinda like the painted bumper look.... if done right. When you paint the bumper, it seems to me you move the design of the car in a different direction. Maybe a little BMWish? In any case, the challenge is to keep the rest of the theme going. I think the reason many here dislike the painted bumper look is that they remember that look from the 80s & 90s cars with their soft colors and billet galore. Think out your theme and the look can be a good one in my opinion.

Besides, I am a little biased (See pics below).
