Paint

I think I have decided to go with either the Hopster wheels or the Torq Thrust II's, with Candy Purple Paint or Dark Purple Metallic paint w/silver or gunmetal ghost  flames, and black interior. What do you think? Gaudy or ?? It's either sedate metallic grey or bright shiny girl colors for me! See below... or maybe the Aqua Blur/Bermuda Blue of the 2005 Chevy SSR (26/WA214M)  it reflects purple in the sun.

Some Tips & Tricks! 

Nicks In Your Paint:

If you have some paint left over from a paint job, try getting a fiberglass pen for cleaning out stone chips. Use it to clean out scratch and then with a very fine artist's brush lay in a couple of coats of paint, letting each one dry between coats. Wait a few weeks and then hand rub it out. At least it will keep the rust out!

 

Some Advice I Received About Wheels for my car

I have just fitted 7inch x 15 Rocket Racing rims to my '64 Sprint with a 4.5inch back space. they fit with good clearance all round and don't rub on the fenders. I previously had American Racing Torque Thrusts with a + 0.5 (3 inch) back space and they rubbed. The rockets are better quality, lighter and lower cost than the traditional AR rims and AR couldn't seem to get their act together as to what back space they sell now.....
