POMONAMISSEL, I always thought car color rims were over the top and belonged on an old mans car.........maybe I should paint them! Thanks Brian.

Riverdawg, thanks for your kind comments, Brian

That's probably close to the original color of my 65 Coronet.

 

[POMONAMISSEL]

its your car . just thought its a golden one . my satellite was dark red met, rims were black under the full rim cover that satellite used . but it had red line tires as well .

Riverdawg, I'm not sure what color this car is, it truly depends on the light it's sitting in. Outside in the direct sunlight the gold kind of washes out and turns to a bright yellowish silver. In morning or evening light the gold really stands out. I never know when taking a photo what color it's going to be. Mopar called the original color gold but it was really more baby poop brown when it aged. Thanks, Brian

HT413, It's been quite a journey and I'm learning a lot. Thanks, Brian.

747mopar, I don't know how you could have time to read anything, as much work as you get done on your garage project. Most of us talk about doing projects, you flat get it done! Thanks Brian.

great lookin car

Just my very humble opinion; I agree with a previous post, the wheels would look good, painted gold.
The black rim, with black wall tire, seems to get lost in the wheel well.
On a different note, your workmanship and engineering/fabrication scales are second to none....I love your car!

440jimr, you and POMONAMISSLE may be right, shhhhh don't tell him. I'm going to reserve judgment until we put the wheel lip and rocker moldings on. If it still lacks something, I might mount the white letters out. When we were kids the black steel wheels, beanie hub caps and black walls out were part of our "sleeper package". Thanks Brian.

Your eyes go to the black wheels and hubcaps. Needs to be a visual balance with a bias toward the car. That's a great color. Agree with 440jimr and Pomonamissle.

 

[POMONAMISSEL]

no white letters , black walls are fine , maybe trim rings on the rims with the hub caps . but with your golden beauty , they just don't balance the look of the golden one . just my two cents .

 

[POMONAMISSEL]

and its pomonamissel , its a combo of cars i have named . the 'miss el ' is a 27 t turtle deck tube chassi ride with a wild wedge hemi 4spd , thus the tag missile . but the plate was taking of course , so my word combo to the rescue , lol;) say miss el its works . its still in the works .

Fran, I'm confused, you thought that the pentastar air cleaner wing nut was over the top, saying "not on my car" and yet you believe I should paint the wheels gold?........"not on my car"..........LOL. Brian.

As the saying goes "It's your car" . Ask opinions and you'll get them, doesn't mean you have to follow them. Want to see what you decide.
