Fix the functional parts (front end) first.

Apply useless chrome later.

Did you just get that thing? Looks like a car on ebay I use to love to look at

Very nice color combo and the single hood stripe . Yes sir I have a car crush . I agree have the front end done first if you think it is getting sloppy.

Why ??
Start with functional upgrades.
Chrome is played out after 80 years anyways.

Me personally ?? I'd start with getting an OAI dual intake hood for the car.

Speak for yourself! I generally avoid "speck'ing" as much as possible.
