Should we leave the wheels grey or paint them body color?

We're really thrilled with how it turned out. We can't thank James enough for turning us on to Justin. This wouldn't have happened had it not been for James and this forum. Sean's been driving the car to work. We've worked on it a little but I'll update that progress later. We have a punch list. They are never done but once the punch list is done, it will be substantially complete. It feels good to have this thread basically caught up. It's been a fair investment of time to cover ten years of work but I'm glad this is out there. Again, I can't thank you guys enough for the positive feedback. It means a great deal. I will update this thread as we make progress. Thanks again for following along.

Unbelievable and it's better than what came off the showroom floor. I see that you have a front plate in Texas that disturbs the view of the front of the car. We have the same idiotic problem in Ontario

Looks awesome Jared! You guys did a fantastic job on this car! It certainly looks like you guys found the right guy to lay down a paint job like that!

I've really enjoyed the build on this car...thanks so much for sharing it with us! Can't wait to see some work on your GP

Stunning my friend, simply stunning.

I'm glad you guys found a painter worthy of all your time, effort, and hard work over the years. That's never an easy decision.

The colour is fantastic, I especially love that one of the hood out in the sun. Incredible.
I know you commented earlier on having a discussion about painting the wheels to match... Just my opinion, but I wouldn't on that car. The grey nicely contrasts and offsets the blue. It looks killer the way it is, I wouldn't change a thing.

Many congratulations to you and Sean. You guys more than earned it. Now go out and help him drive the wheels off that thing, to help get you fired up on your GP!!
