HEY Readers!!!! Did you think I was ever going to post something again?!?! I'm still battling wireless dial-up issues here at the Suede and Chrome Garage. Not a lot of shows in the area, but in the next few weeks the schedule will get started. Thought I'd post some pictures tonight of a few chances to the Nifty Fifty. Got my beauty rings via UPS on Thursday. Finally had a chance to get them on the car this afternoon. Also got some chrome bullet valve stem caps to replace the blue dice caps I had on the car. I'm not 100% happy with the "Rustoleum" paint job on the wheels....but the beauty rings and bullet caps combined with the spyder hubcaps look sweet! I've got a little paint touch up and wheel cleaning to do before I take her out, but I think the wheel treatment looks great, and it was a heck of a lot cheaper than a set of Astro Supremes.
Still don't know if I'll ever put a headliner in the car. I've been slowly putting dash plaques and the like on the roof for right now. I was thinkin' I might just paint the underside with a flat blue or something. At any rate, I've been trying to think of a good place to keep track of my sunglasses. I have a history of sitting on them or lossing them. My 2002 Impala has a nice little "cubbie" above the rearview mirror. This old Tiki mug I've had since I was a kid seems to do the job nicely and fits with the decor.
Lots of kool stuff in the works for the Nifty Fifty. A buddy located a set of fender skirt for her, and another friend is working on a scallop design. My neighbor saw me out working on the car this afternoon and drove his newly acquired 1973 Chevrolet Monte Carlo down for me to check out. It's a "barn find", pretty good shape with only 52,000 miles. Anyway, we got to talking and he told me he's got a split manifold for the Nifty Fifty I can have! SWEET!
Have a GREAT week!
