I'm a gap guy and by looking at the above photo, your gaps are spot on!

Seth, the owner of Lucky's Restorations, is very meticulous about gaps. I can't take credit for this one, but I certainly know how much time goes into getting them just right!

Is that Jim's blue 67 behind your car? Seth and Audrey do a great job.

I like the color! I was thinking white w/red or silver/red on the next one. Guess I get to see it in silver. Beautiful.

Thanks for the compliments! Seth deserves all the credit though. I told him what i wanted and he picked the paint colors. I did not want a true silver as it drowns out the chrome and I did not want a charcoal as I think it would be too dark to go with the bright red interior!

Looking great!!! Hopefully, by the time my '63 vert gets on the road, the silver with red interior fad will be over and mine won't seem like a copy-cat.

Your car is so unique that I don't think it will matter!

I never thought I would put a red stinger or red interior in a car, but I'm glad I decided to step outside of my comfort zone!

Silver on blue is where it's at.


Love that shade of silver

Thanks. Glad everybody likes it. The red stinger really makes it look aggressive.
