only thing I'd do different is I'd keep it primer, just pinstripe the trunk and hood, and channel the car a few inches![Big Grin](https://acurazine.com/forums/images/smilies/biggrin.gif)
Wish I could see the grill though, if he's got the desoto grill in there I just finished!

Nice. I really like the black primer look on certain hotrods. Some people will clear coat over the primer. I think they call that look "California Suede".

California Suede is what I'd do

put it this way, my dads friend just bought one, it's in pretty shitty condition, the body is straight and all and the chop is done but not that extreme and it needs motor, interior, paint, etc and he paid like 35K
That car probably cost him between 50-75K depending on how much he did himself.
thanks for the compliment

For example, even on my CL I have to drive up on 2x4's to be able to get a jack underneath

my buddies dad said they used to steal the hydraulics off of delivery truck lift gates so they could "lift" their cars.
