Bob: thanks for voicing opinon.

Here are the colors on the paint stick, since basecoat clear coat these are not glossy, you gotta imagine lots of metalic and lots of gloss over these.

I was going to go with semi gloss chassis black on frame, and suspension parts. steering column, and joints chassis black. Then the motor will be black, the valve covers are those cobra by ford with non polished aluminum and textured black. the intake is aluminum edelbrock, but thought about ceramic coating it silver, the pulleys and brackets will be silver, the headers and side pipes and roll bar will be satin silver. alternator and sterring rack will be non polished aluminum natural finish on them. I have to find one of those cobra air intakes.

Build update; Took off the drivers side arms and steering rack, then decide to make a little forward progress by cleaning up the welds on the side pipes, at least got one of the almost finished.

I am hoping to make a statement with the quality of workmanship into the build instead of all the bling and horspower. By spending a few extra hours cleaning up these welds it should make the ceramic coating look much better.

here is a before picture, notice the stress marks from reducing down.

Here is a picture of it almost finished in terms of cleaning up weld and getting out stress lines.

this should look really good once ceramic coated.
