Thoughts ?
Love the color and the interior. With the gold wheels? Having a hard time picturing them together. Would love to see a pic of them together.

I agree with Chris.

Nice choice on color and the interior is going to look perfect.

I like the interior, rugged but luxury. Exterior is a solid choice too. I think it'll go well with the gold wheels.

Does Toyota have any classic colors to pull from though?

Chassis looks great, Steve. Sorry to hear the paint isn't working out as well as you'd hope.

I think the black bead retainers will help tie it together very nicely!
