Yeah, I saw the carmine red in your pics. It's a nice red, but not the brightest. One of the most common reds used today is a Viper red. It's a really bright red that looks good on just about anything.

The Hopster is a good looking wheel. It hasn't been played as hard as the Torque Thrust. You may want to consider something in a 20 though. The wheels aren't that much more, and Goodyear makes a very reasonable 20" tire that will fill your fenders up nice. Yeah, it will kill the budget a bit more, but you will probably be glad you did it in the long run. In the meantime red ralley's and chrome rings will look cool against the black primer.

The interior on my 77 is stock. It was restored to original, and the only thing I changed was the steering wheel. I happen to have a Vin-Tec wheel on my Blazer, so I swapped it out.

Thanks for the compliment. Stay focused with your plan, and it will come together...
