    Just for the heck of it, try photoshopping candy lime or orange on it.

    That's the plan for he rims. I can't find any I like that doesn't cost $1000 a rim. I'm still looking.

    Good luck. We were looking for 18" rims for my wife's Z/28 and, for the prices, you'd swear they were gold plated instead of aluminum.

    If you like pro touring look i'd go with this

    Xxr 526 (find them on ebay)
    You get a set 18 + 20 for like 850$
    In black. Gunmetal or silver

    They have a nice deep dish.

    Bolt pattern is bmw 5x120 whoch equals your buick.

    I would have liked it better minus the rally stripes but looks like a good done job.

    Looks good to me!
    I sure wish I had the talent to paint like that!

    Are you going to have the over-the-body stripes outlined as well. I think it would look good and add continuity.

    Cool paint job, kind of interesting the way the 2 tone paint stripe goes down where it does kind of mimicking the '68 and '69 body line on the doors on a '71. Looks like a quality job, vey reflective for just being sprayed! That thing will be a colored mirror going down the road after it get rubbed out and polished! Sweet looking car, thanks for bumping it so I could take a look at it.
