The pics do look good. The time spent getting the Vette insert to fit was worth it!

I think it would look great with some 14x7 Spyders

we removed the body side molding and welded the holes shut so the sides of the car are sparse, what do you think of leaving the fender louvers unpainted ?

I love the color combo! When I painted Dave's motion camaro the classic copper with white stripes it absolutely POPPED!!!!! It was one of the cars people talked about just cuz it was so unusual. I think 200s wheels on the nova would be my choose.

Non SS Novas with the custom exterior package had all chrome gills. SS Novas had body colored gills with a strip of chrome showing on the back edge of each gill.

Or do it the way you like it.

Mike picked up the car yesterday, it was getting dark when I finally saw it.




I am just amazed how the kid has brought this project around, so much determination and hard work. When I was his age that would have been a waste of beer money.
