Re: Grandpa's 72 restoration

I applaud you for not chopping it down to a shorty and going with a factory style restoration. It's looking great so far and I look forward to seeing it progress. Great job!

My opinion on the options you mentioned are:

1) Keep the factory pinstripe. You don't see them much. I think they are pretty cool especially since it's actually on your SPID. I included a pick of a factory stripe truck as an example.

2) White bumpers? Keep 'em. Looks great on a blue and white truck. My truck originally had white bumpers but the previous owner put on a chrome front because he didn't like the white accents. I would go back with white but I've found several examples of my color truck (gold) with white bumpers and didn't care for the look. However, if my truck were blue, hugger orange, red, or almost any other color, I'd go with white.

3) Wheels? No question, white wheels with factory caps. White or stainless, your choice. Either will look great.
