Thread: 53 Is back from the Body Shop

We thought about painting the back bars green but Kari looked at a lot of photos where they were painted that way and never really liked it, but she loves the way it looks now. As for the chrome strip on the hood, I got out voted on that one by you guys, my vote is to leave it off. I thought it was getting over done on the chrome but I'll put it on for a few days and take it back off for a few days and see what I think.

I'll throw in my 2 cents just for grins.....regarding the chrome strip, if you decide to leave it off, I think you need to weld up the seam and give the appearance of a one piece hood. If you're keeping the seam, I think it needs the chrome strip...
