      Are you asking about the quality or the colors? Are you the painter or the owner? (aka, did you choose the scheme & colors?). Personally, I'm not feeling the color combo or lines on the car. Tough to tell about the quality from a picture, but it looks good from Boston.

      interesting...dont really wanna judge it on just that shot alone...if you can get some full body shots you may get more people posting up...pretty colors though, not sure how well they work together...but they are nice none the less!

      I agree! I think we need to see a full body shot before we can comment!

      I want to get some shots of it outside today, I will post them when I do. It needs a set of wheels on it bad, it has some ss Chevelle black wheels on the back of it and they look awful!!! And yes I picked out the colors and painted it, but im not to sure if I like it, it needs put together (and wheels) will be a big key. Thanks for the comments, I will keep pics comming.

      it is intruiging..i think if it were sitting lower...with the right wheel combo it will look sick...as i look as this i cant help but think how insanely cool it would look if all the accents were blacked out, such as the handles, grille, basically anything that is supposed to be chrome...it would look sick IMO

      The windows will be very dark tint, but I dont think the black wheels look so good.

      Interesting... I agree with the rest of the guys. Depending on how you finish it, that will make or break the paint job. Either slammed low with some 18" wheels, or big meats in the back and skinnies up front would look hot.

      The paint job is too 'out there' for a normal set of 15" factory wheels or Cragars... etc.

      These would look great if you do big 'n little...




      Are you doing chrome bumpers, or body color?

      I like the color combo but the stripe I am not sure about just yet. When you have all the details done on the car it may go either way. Good Luck

      Love the stripe

      I want to finish my Chevelle in two colors. I want black on the roof, hood, and trunk. With orange on the sides with a stripe like that between the two colors.

      I like it. the dynamic stripe is subtle; the line mimics a vinyl roof trim strip. I guess if you're asking, it means you're not sure of it yourself; well, you are the only one you have to please, so if you don't like it, we can't convince you it's cool.

      Ya, I think it would look best with a charcoal stripe... Then throw some black or charcoal centered wheels with maybe a polished lip..... My 2 cents ;)
