not usually a fan of that style rod, but love what he did with it. I kinda like the half flat black primer/silver paint job. Those wheels look mean too.

Reminds of the summit 32 Roadster, all wheel drive with a 500 hp 400 sbc.

the flat black makes it look tough.... the powder coated inside and chrome lip seems to be the "in" thing for the past year or so.... i like it..... sort of between a rat ride and a finished ride...... paint scheme and all.........

Not bad, just can't stand Fiberglass street rods.....

We picked this one up last week, dad was having "withdrawls" while he was building his Buick. This is the first street we bought complete, we normally build and sell. He last made the Snap-On calender. Plans are to shave the door handels/truck and replace the Boyd rims. If this car last 6months I'll be suprised.

It'd be nice to have a trunk.

I like it!
I've always had a thing for a splash of satin black in a paint scheme.
