- 1966,and a 1962 thats almost complete
So as some of you might know I am working on a new project.And I need some advice on it.
I plan on painting the car millenium yellow
I plan on having a black interiour and black harts convertable top
the plans were to smooth the fire wall and also paint the entire engine bay and bottom of the car yellow.
The car was set up to ride real LOW in the front and just a slightley higher rake to the rear.So the frame will not be so visable
The motor and trans were going to be body color
The hubs of the rotor and the calipers are going to be painted red
I have red uruthane bushings
all of my suspention a arms,half shafts drive shaft,dog bones,are being polished to almost a chrome like finish (Thanks John MaGraw)
The rear center section will be painted a silver paint (sorry john its just too much to do)
I plan on using a polished radiator,air compressor,alternator,steering colum,power steering pump,oil pan,valve covers,water pump,a march performance serpintine belt set up with polished brakets and pulleys.
Chrome hood latches and hinges and hood prop.
And I wanted to paint the frame body color also.
So my question is Picture this car in your head for a moment if you would.And let me know if you think I should paint the frame a gloss black? a silver? red? with the thoughts the frame would stand out more if it was a different color.
Some one suggested to paint the engine bay and the bottom of the car black and keep the frame body color.
Another person suggested to change the entire paint scheme to a metalic red like on the aniversary corvette,
As always your advice is needed and apreceated
My major concern is that if the frame is red with a yellow car it will look ricer like
Speaking of ricers
I had also planned the interiour to have a real soft supple bleak leather in it Nothing too fancy just lots of soft black leather,and again some one had said I should have yellow seating surfaces in the seats and a yellow splash some wher in the door panels and the fiberglass sections of the dash board and intrument cluster should also be body color .
