I think the headlights look fine the sides just need smoothed over with amber turn signals

Looking at it again, I have to agree with CMC's post from the other thread.

It's a street rod look and it should not be overdone. Anything pre 70's could pull it off after that not so much

See, im liking that back, but for some reason, the front doesnt look good to me, maybe its the very modern head lights? got 2 months to think about it... it wouldnt be unique, but only one of 2 hehe

I have an other idea in mind that i think would make it one of its own... but i gotta talk to a fabricator

I just finished watching Horse power T.V. They had a new SHO. With a flat black paint on it. BUT!! It was down the center of the car from trunk to the roof to the hood. LOOKED GREAT.

The guys on Chevy Talk tell members to use the John Deer semi black paint. It has UV protection in it a flat black paint job won't.

I saw that too. That thing looked great! Especially with the chrome mesh grills.

IMO, whether the vehicle be old or new, off road or on, anything, it will ALWAYS look better to me with a gloss paint job.
