Car looks great, nice job. I was all about to say its time for some elbow grease on those wheels till I saw your last pic. Very nice.

wow, real nice, be sure to get pics with new wheels on too. those stock wheels(which I have) can look really good with some work, but, its too late for that now.

Hi go,
WELL!
That was worth the wait.... and your effort to post them!
Your car looks very nice; I'll bet you're pleased with the new paint!

Im not sure. I am looking for a tire that does not protrude from the fender flares. These wheels are replica c6 wheels in black chrome finish. 18 front and 19 rear that will give the car a rake. I have to find the proper size lug and hub centric wheel apadters that fit properly.

Car looks awesome, nice work! My only suggestion, (which may be pointless because the new wheels might address this) is to lower the stance a bit. Just my opinion but the body looks about 1 1/2" to 2"" too high, especially in the front. Keep the progress pics coming!

You and bill carson are right. The color is pendleton black pearl. The car appears to be black when one sees it from afar or at a certain angle......... in sunlight it is actually green due to the pearl in the paint. An interesting color indeed.

AGree on lowering a touch. Polish the daylights out of the stockers maybe even the coves too (or paint black) it would look fantastic.
Paint came out nice, hope you own a duster!
