Had this car for two years drove it for a while then decided it was time to redo it. It had rust in the rear frame rails which we replaced. Took body off frame fixed several rust areas on it and painted. Ater 2 years I finally have it back on the frame putting new engine and transmission in. My buddy going to finish body work then paint. I am thinking going back white or maybe changing to silver. I like white with maybe some pearl base coat clear. Any paint color brand suggestions?

I like it. Nice job on the rear rail sections. You're going to be pushing that 7.5" rear and axles to the limits with those drag radials though.

Yea I think the rear will be the next upgrade on this car. If you are talking about the rear uppercontrol arms they are the adjustable ones from umi.
