Excellent choice of rims, and I love the stance! This build is shaping up beautifully!

Cheers, D

Jesper,

those custom wheels really add another whole dimension to the look & stance.

Thanks for looking in guy's. Appreciate it.

The wheels come with optional 3 spoke knockoff wheel lugs. Can't really make up my mind, whether to use them or not.

Jesper,
They were just for looks, so I'd personally leave them off as the wheels look great just as they are. I can't see if there are any lug nuts. If not, you may want to figure out a way to add them.

I love the stance, Jesper. I'm not all that sure I like the chrome on the wheels, but the design is awesome.

Hi Jesper, yes, the stance looks great! And I’m very jealous of the finish you achieved on the hood!! Nice!

Cheers

I lean toward leaving them of.

Gabriel & Nick: thanks for looking in, appreciate it.

That's a great looking Chevy (is that possible? )Jesper. Nice idea on the picture with the watch. That could be the new standard though I am not sure I could have achieved that.
The two-tone finish and the wheels look pretty cool to me.

cheers

Michael

This one have been finished, for quite a while. Just managed to get it done, before the end of 2019.
A few shots, from yesterday. No engine shots, since I glued the hood in place. The stock engine just doesn't match a custom build.

Very nice build Jesper, love the candy! The stance is just angry enough, the rims and the colour combination makes it stand out! Really smooth work on the trims as well, it has come together beautifully.

What's next up on the bench for you now?

Cheers, D

Thank you Damian. Appreciate the kind words.

The Honda RA272, is finished, just need to make some nice shots, of that one. Got a bit of armor and some figures, I need to finish, to make a little space, for the next auto build. The Mustang, for the Ford campaign and the '72 GTO, will get some attention next, but will most likely start more kit's as well

Thanks for looking in D.

Now, how do I get rid of those dreadful "X" and "border" on both sides, of my images.

Jasper,
Wow!!!

The paint job is a mile deep with a million dollar shine. Your chrome work everywhere is just perfect. And as D said, the stance is just right for a street custom.

As for the X & Borders on either side of each posted picture, are you using a 3rd party host? And how are you actually posting them here? Must be something your adding to the address for the pictures between the two sets of parentheses.

Lovely custom, Jesper!
I subscribe to all the guys have said above, and I will add that the flocking or embossing powder you have used in the interior adds a lot to the "vintage" feel of the build. I really liked it!

P.S. Honda RA272 it's also in my shopping cart, but it has to wait until...
