So whats your plan for the old girl? I think she'd look nice in a dark suede blue with white pinstriping. I'd lose the bumper bars and flip the front
bumper. Maybe open up the grill and french the lights.

If things go as planned the headlight area will be from a 1957 chevy, and I will use the 57 headlight doors also. The bumperetts are so gone, the car will be
flat something most likely black hot rod paint, and maybe some tribal flames. Looking at a small block Ford with roller set up, and side pips. I considered
gasser look too, its all up until i start welding, lol

So many Hot Rodded versions of these around. Why don't you try a nice restoration? It would be nice to see somthing different. If we must go the Hot Rod
route, then do something like a Vintage NASCAR stocker or an old-fashioned drag car.

I say go with flat black w/ pinstripes. take out the front grille piece put some big tires under those rear fenders. Old school steel red wheels maybe? idk whatever you decide it will look great
