Plymouthy Adams Posted March 15, 2019 Report Posted March 15, 2019 better build but I do not like the wheel choice but as it is not my name on the title....I clearly have no say at all.... Quote
Frank Elder Posted March 15, 2019 Author Report Posted March 15, 2019 There are redeeming qualities to both builds and shortcomings too...... Quote
kencombs Posted March 15, 2019 Report Posted March 15, 2019 I like both of them, for different reasons (except for the engine choice) but don't like either wheel choice. Not my money, not my work so I'll just admire what I like and ignore the rest. Quote
Don Coatney Posted March 15, 2019 Report Posted March 15, 2019 Only thing I like about both cars is they don't have fuzzy dice hanging from the mirror. 1 Quote
MackTheFinger Posted March 17, 2019 Report Posted March 17, 2019 (edited) Spending $50k building a $15k car is dumb. Caring about what someone else owns is even dumber. I like 'em both. ? Edited March 17, 2019 by MackTheFinger Quote
Frank Elder Posted March 18, 2019 Author Report Posted March 18, 2019 Caring about what I care about is even dumber...isn't our right to voice our opinions about anything we choose a wonderful right, thank you Constitution and bill of rights! 1 Quote

Dodgeed Posted March 18, 2019 Report Posted March 18, 2019 I like all the chrome on these year's and always have. The painted over chrome has never been a favorite of mine. I "get it", I understand why it is done sometimes, its just not my cup of tea. This particular model / body style / year group, with all the chrome, has always been a favorite for me, so, shine it up, chrome it up, whitewall it up, and go have fun w/it. ? Quote

I mentioned earlier that I liked both, for different reasons. You sort of touched on the big one. I also like the chrome. But, if it were mine and the chrome was in bad shape I'd opt for the monochromatic paint. I just think it looks better than bad chrome. And it's just too expensive to rechrome that many pieces at todays' prices. Good chrome? Shine it and show it! Edited March 18, 2019 by kencombs Quote
Plymouthy Adams Posted March 18, 2019 Report Posted March 18, 2019 (edited) I mentioned this in a PM to Frank...painted trim of body color will not adequately reveal the body lines. I stated also that chrome will eat your wallet like a snicky snack. However, I am a firm believer that IF YOU MUST paint the trim, chose a complimenting/contrasting color to again, define the body lines. The WWII blackout cars were such vehicles and were tastefully done then and is can easily be mimicked today...also...most chrome shops will tell you that painting it will help seal the pieces against some further deterioration and prefer this over some amateur restore.
