May as well IMO, everything else is painted. It may look a little off if you leave them unpainted, if you know what I mean

I hear that. If it was cleaned up really well and had a few painted parts it would look really good

soooo, did you apprentice under troy trenapier? boyd coddington? chip foose? stacy from "TRUCKS!"? the detail, creativity, and craftsmanship are going to make this car truely priceless and that popular.

save some details though so when hot rod, phr, gm high tech, and the other magazines come to do full features on it.

and if you can do this to a car, i bet thats one hell of a patio...probably a full zen garden gazebo with fountains and stuff...
