Ahhh, My favorite color: PRIMER ;D The poncho looks really great, but seeing it in one uniform color made me realize one thing - And this is my personal view, not criticism in any way - I think I would section the front vertically to remove about 2-2.5 millimeters, to bring the "Eyebrows" and grille opening further backwards, thus making the rear tip of the front bumper meet the wheelarch (Is that spelled correctly?). I think it would visually balance out the relatively short trunk/decklid, which looks slightly shorter than the front, due to the chop. Anyway, I think you're doing one hell of a job on this beautiful build!!! I understand where you're comin' from, Chris, but, once the headlight trim is in place, things look much better. Trust me... you'll see. If this were a "new millenium" style custom, I'd probably tweak lots of things but I'm trying to build it as it would have been done in the early '60s and they didn't "see" things like that back then.

I've been slow on this one... took a week off then started on my '62 for Craig's challenge. Thought I'd post a couple shots with everything in primer. I'll start painting this week... final chioce for colors is black with candy red top and coves. Interior will be black with red tuck and roll inserts.
