I got this one wrapped up Christmas eve for a guy giving it to his father as a present. His dad used to race a 59 Elky when my client was young, but he had to sell it to supprt the family. Now the son has bought a start from scratch fixer upper, but no worries he owns a high end body shop. This one will sport black and charcoal paint, sojme trim polished some brushed look, big brakes, mild suspension upgrades, and a way cool cross ram topped 409 backed by a 5 speed. It'll ride on 17 and 18 inch polished Torque Thrusts.

This one was a lot of fun, I learned a new trick using Illustrator's blend tool and that's how I created the grille and hood grille inserts. Tried to get the "shot in the studio" look with reflections. Did this one all in Illustrator.

Looks great dude. I'll always be a fan of Black, and silver/charcoal/greys.
