haha dont feel bad
i did the same thing
those bumpers are awesome though

 

i'd go with the pin strip.

a nice satin black to go with your red 'n black theme.

also mix in the satin black in the interior pieces, as well as the red.

and if you do decide to go with the pin striping, get an old skool pin striper. do some nice free hand on the TG, around the door handles.


ooOOOO! sand 'n paint the door handles red to body match. do the mirrors too!


ok, now you can send the prize winning cheque to me, @ ...............

don't worry Pat, i'll be sure to share it with you @ Tim's the next time we meet. (maybe i'll bring Brad too, this time )

 

haha yea satin black is awesome
the door handles color matched would look gread
we have a family friend that will do all the painting for us for cheap
he works at a body shop and paints for ford
as far as the interior pieces, what pieces should i paint and what pieces should i leave alone?

 

does this guy do old skool style pin striping? 'cause that's what i was going after (IMO), rather than just some plain old pin stripes.

as for the interior, that's kinda hard to say. it really comes down to personal taste.

personally, i can't stand super shiney painted plastic pieces. but i luuuuv the big painted steel dash frame i my 'Burb. you can even go with a satin red on some of the panels that you want to paint red.

i'd snap a few pic's of your interior (make sure they're direct-on shots) and PS away with the colour masking. see what you like.

 

yea he does
he does pinstriping and ghost flames on motor cycles
and has 2 55 chevys and a 78 vette with pinstriping
