It's going to be a single color, it's the silver looking color on that hotrod. I have a good amount of money into the car already and it will continue to add up. I will make sure to keep everyone updated with build.

Could you do me a favor? Could you find out what color red that is? Is that a house of kolor red too? I have a friend who is looking for a nice burgandy red to paint his bike and I think he will love that color.

I know, 2 weeks isn't looking realistic right now. We got so busy and now my car's pushed back. The engine bay will be completed this weekend and the motor will go in right after, so, I am hoping we can get it done soon. We will see.

What do you mean by the rims looks different? Did you mean by the style of the rim? We will see soon enough, but the brakes and rims are the last parts to be put on, don't really want to get over-spray on them, ya know.
