Re: Kabwe's aka Bam's build

It's got to be a great feeling when you lay down primer. It's that transitional step from fabrication to bodywork. The dash looks like came that way from the factory, and it'll look great when it's in color. Are you going to try to use all the cool dash trim that the '55 cars had, like the flat pieces with all the little bow-ties in it? If you could pull that off, it'll look awesome.

So you're thinking green, huh? Nice choice. I have been seeing a lot of very off-the wall solid colors lately like browns, tans, and greens that I really like. I like metallics and candys, but there's something about a solid color that when it's done right, it looks like the car was dipped. So deep and rich that it looks like it was molded in that color.

That tan Suburban and the pale green delivery at the Brothers show had that look.
