Looks great Rick! What color is that by the way, might use it for my 68!

[rsk68]

It's 04 Lexus Red!

Car is running so it shouldnt be long now, need to put the hood on, redo the carpet, program the gas guage, lower the front end and then tune it!

What do you guys think about the intake and air cleaner close out, should i paint it black or leave it alone?

[BADNBLK]

Looks amazing under there! Appreciate the little details like the hvac bulkhead tucked behind the hood hinges. Post more pics as you get them!

[AusMarty]

Leave it Shiny. :-D

I don't think you can go wrong either way on the color Rick. You could put a light dusting of black on it and see how it looks. If it's no good some acetone and a bit of elbow grease will get it back to natural.

The one drawback about brushed or polished/natural is trying to keep it clean. Paint fills in the finish/pores and makes it a lot faster to do maintenance cleaning.

Very nice car, will be lots of fun to drive,

i'd go red, it would help it blend in. looks good.....still need hooks?

[rsk68]
