I got the 54 Chevy finished I went ahead and painted it black primer and detailed it with chrome. Windows are gloss black and I detailed the chrome bumpers and added a custom license plate.
I was thinking of adding white wall tires with read trim around the dome hubcaps let me know what you think I might still do that.
Thanks for looking!

Old time mobster pimp.
New school gangster pimp.
MIB pimp.

Gotta ditto cabo on that. The only thing that bugs me is the ride height.

You know who I could see behind the wheel of that thing?
That's right, Marion "Cobra" Cobretti.

Maybe with a bigger front wheel well the ride hight would work better. Either way I spent 10 min at the Wallmart toy isle contemplating buying that exact same body... I said fuck it, will wait to see what SWG does. I may go back and grab it now cuz I was thinking Candy red and you didn't go that way.

That looks cool as hell. Reminds me of the Cobra car too.
I would definately change them wheels out for something. I don't really think the looks of the wheels works with the car, and I know from personal experience, those tires kinda suck. Maybe some taller wheels would help with the looks of the body height.
