Paint job looks great! I know you're getting a lot of satisfaction from doing such a job yourself. That's part of the beauty of this hobby - choosing just how much of a challenge you feel you can take on yourself, and then doing it!

Keep us posted.

Yes, I do have to fight haviing a bit of an inferiority complex in going with the 5 pin wheels. But I have a 66 Corvette with essentially the same set up so I was kind of use to them. Buiilding a fairly faithful Street Roadster stretches the budget some and it was a place a felt OK in saving a few dollars. Good thought on the spare tire too

Thanks
