Thanks guys but I’ve already named it “The Prospector”. I will most likely have the name written in a Victorian Era Gold Leaf script on the rear blackout panel. I explained the reasoning for the name in an earlier post. I think an old 49er Prospector is fitting given the gold on gold....

Thank you! As previously mentioned this car was a "survivor". It only has 54k miles on it. Even the original body bushings are in decent shape. All sheet metal is original to the car except the passenger fender and header panel. I still have the original hood which is dent free and very straight! The doors on this car have never been removed.

Here are the 15x4s I bought on eBay a couple years ago. They were rough to say the least. The hoops were too far gone but I opted to "save" the wheels and continue the restoration. Unfortunately we had to replace the hoops and they're a little different than the originals used by Cragar. That said I am very pleased with the result, even though it cost me an arm and a leg... Pictures just don't do this polish and chrome work justice.

Feast your eyes on Prospector Gold! They painted the car yesterday. All I can say is the metal guy did an amazing job! The prep guy did a great job blocking the car! The car didn't take much blocking. It was primed three times in total. The final scuffing resulted in sanding through the primer in a few spots which had to be spotted.... That's how thin the primer is on this car. The painter did a great job. I am very fortunate to be in a position where I could see the progression of the job and be able to communicate with everyone involved. I'm sure I drive them a little crazy sometimes

Thanks Mark! The first two pictures are just the base gold, no clear.
