With them rims.. I think it might look better painted, Replicate the original paint with rim colors.
 
you need some speed holes in that brake lever!!! that'd loooooook sweeeeeeet!!! Ol skool speed holes!
 
Seed holes would be nice... too bad i dont have a water jet to cut em out. i dont even have a drill press, :oops:
Ive been working on stripping the paint on the frame a getting ready to paint. my inspiration for the paint is a newer style hot rod theme. flat paint on the body and super metal flake on the roof. i have not been able to find any good pics of this, but im sure you've seen a car like this. they are pretty popular here in so cal.. i'll keep u posted! later
 
you dont need a drill press either....... just something to clamp to,a block of wood. and a drill and some hole saws(you can get those from harbor freight if you want cheapies).
 
Glad u decided to strip and repaint, Will look awesome!!!
