good ol rattle can paint is what im using.

i apply the paint in stages to avoid those frickin fish eyes. once i get the last and final coat on, i hang it in front of the topedo heater to dry. unfortunantly, i didnt use the heater on the front fender, so i didnt get the gloss i was after....but thats ok.

dio swap........hmm.........ill stick with se50 engines. im not lookin for a whole lot speed anyway.

allllllrighty, so i got all the wiring hooked up under the speedo. the head light bezels turned out great with the paint. next will be the front rim, brake caliper, and tire.

wow man, that thing is looking nice.....

did you decide on a rim color yet?

chevyguyjay · Post by **chevyguyjay** » Sun Dec 09, 2007 5:49 pm

well, i think i decided to go with a two tone paint for the wheels. the spokes of the rim will be white, and the rim will be red.

ok, i just finished the rim and brake caliper. i think the two tone looks pretty good.
