Gonna paint the lower body Black?

Re: My 68' chevelle baldwin motion L88 re-creation
 

Was thing about adding the black on the lower also considering a vinyl top...... any opinions?? https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/pics...3-img_1791.jpg

Re: My 68' chevelle baldwin motion L88 re-creation
 

Heres a crude example of what im doing, vinyl top, stinger hood and black on bottom

Wegner built 496 with correct heads intake etc... 604 hp 598 ftlb on pump gas

Re: My 68' chevelle baldwin motion L88 re-creation
 

Looks great either way. The black does add a little distinctiveness to it I think though.

Beautiful Chevelle!!

Re: My 68' chevelle baldwin motion L88 re-creation
 

What size wheels and tires (front and rear)? It's a good look!

New grill and bezels added

Re: My 68' chevelle baldwin motion L88 re-creation
 

Looks great. I think black below the moldings like on all SS396 cars would really set it off. I love the column shift, radio delete, etc.

What size wheels and tires are you running?

Re: My 68' chevelle baldwin motion L88 re-creation
 

I had a '68 SS - Teal blue metallic - and the black rockers really add to the overall look especially if you ever go to a ET style or dark center magnum wheels with a bit of a body lift ('68 day 2 kind of look).
Vinyl top not so much in my opinion.. but front and rear bumper guards and blacked out headlight bezels and grill ala '69's and it really brings out the lines of those cars IMHO..
Love it!

Re: My 68' chevelle baldwin motion L88 re-creation
 

I agree the car is getting the black on bottom will get tire sizes and post

Just picked up stinger hood today! Thanks glasstek

Re: My 68' chevelle baldwin motion L88 re-creation
 

..... That hood with a black stinger scoop will be awesome [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/worship.gif[/img]

Re: My 68' chevelle baldwin motion L88 re-creation
 

Car looks great. I would cut out the opening of the stinger too. [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/biggthumpup.gif[/img]

Question. Do those valve cover spacers give you any issues? Leaks or wiper motor clearance? I was considering them on my next build and Im afraid the location of the Camaro w/m it will come into contact or I will have to remove the w/m every time I need to access the rockers.

Re: My 68' chevelle baldwin motion L88 re-creation
 

Darrrell, i have had zero issues with the valve cover spacers there made local and machined out of billet aluminum they claim you can just seal them to the cyl hd with no gasket but i chose to use one anyway and the are made in several different thickness. No plans to open scoop with the cowl plenum air cleaner gettin fresh air from cowl. Thanks for the input!
