[59chev]

Thanks dsraven!

I always say I was born in the wrong decade.. I tried to keep the overall look of this build to a mid 60s hotrod/low rider theme. I wanted a steering wheel to fit the time period that added a custom touch over the stock wheel. I searched for one for a while and as it happened, I met a 59 Impala owner at a car show that had some spare parts for sale.

As for the primer, it was sprayed with black epoxy primer about 15 years ago as a “temporary” solution. It has since chalked out. I am considering a wipe on clear coat to preserve what it there as a paint job isn’t in the budget. To be honest, I kinda like the current look with some of the original teal starting to wear through on the hood, but I don’t want it to get worse.
