I'm actually after an older look - the eagle eyed will notice I've swapped out the round modern indicators for the older style. I'm thinking '50s smile

Agreed, I like the old ratrod look too - I think Satin Black and Chrome looks the dogs. The wider VW wheels and half moons were the first step, and completed with the full satin coat (although I agree that the red and black is very striking and quite appealing). I'll resist the urge for some of that pinstripe filigree stuff that you often see on the rods. smile smile

I also think the Satin covering will tie in well with the doortops and hood in
