I'm impressed, coming from a cynic like me, that's pretty good!

Then paint the grille argent silver. do you guys think that would look good? my fenders are rough so getting them perfect will take a llllloooonnnnggggg time

You better work on them a long time because every little thing will show, just be sure you block sand them till they are perfect.

My 56 is going to be basically red and black, I have already started the paint work. We also did renderings in color with the flames and all. Like I said, black is bitchin. Go for it, good luck on those fenders

Does anyone have pictures of the 51/52 F1's with hot rod flat black with gloss black accents? Is there the same trouble with the need for perfection with the sheetmetal? Thanks, Steve
