I used to have a Keystone scooped hood on mine but after the wreck, sold it. Decided to put the polished panels under the hood this time. Scoop would be nice but kinda stupid with the underside covered with panels.
Bill,
I looked at the Chev. panel and it sucks up close. The door is still there. The line down the side of the panel just don't work for me. Actually I wish I could afford to change the rear to two doors that swing out but just retired and am broke. You got any extra money?
Hudd
On the other hand the doors on the Chevy still being there makes it easier to get things in and out. I like them.

Mean Green,
Don't disagree with convience but just doesn't work for me on looks. More like a station wagon with painted windows. Just my opinoin.
Duck,
Yep, RETIRED as of last Thursday. Lost my cool and figured that would be best rather can being sued for kicking the Presidents a$$. I was semi-retired anyway. Just working 3 days a week. I registered for Shipshewana. Have you yet? Hope to catch up with you there. And by the way, OLD happens to fit except for the mind. I'm coming up on thirtys in my head. Body says I'm crazy.

Will get car back Monday. Goes in for exhaust repair Tues. Then to the pinstriper on Wed. Then I start on all of the wheelwell/brakes/rotors and put on new wheels. Here's a picture of the new whees. Hopefully will have pictures of exterior next weekend. Then waiting on the upholster. Pushing him for the next week. Got my fingers crossed.

Sorry I can't get anything to come up except a red x. Don't know what I'm doing wrong. Anyway here is a preview of the Panel paint. Doesn't show the Pearl real good because the hood is in the shade.
