c10Mang · 12-11-2008, 03:50 PM

Hey Guys,

My ride is going in paint the next couple day's. And I wanted see what you guys thought? I don't know if want to do the white line with trim or just keep super clean? kinda going for a that surfer lowrider vibe.

Thanks!

I personally like the trim because it gives you something to look at as your eyes look down the bed since your running a LB.

If you had a SB I'd say witout the trim.

jonathan-m · 12-11-2008, 04:56 PM

Definitely need the trim on that long bed.

LowRodder · 12-11-2008, 05:03 PM

I think the white in the side trim is one of the best things about the early 60's

Keep the trim

MacAttack · 12-11-2008, 05:34 PM

Trim is a winner. Nice offset to the roof.

protrash64 · 12-11-2008, 05:37 PM

The trim appears to tie the whole look together; definitely use the trim.

Good choice the trim will "break up" that big ol' butt. I had some pinstriping done on mine, oh as an old surfer lowrider you nailed the look,and If I didn't say it before You have one killer ride .

SIR · 12-11-2008, 06:54 PM

salazar44 · 12-11-2008, 07:01 PM

Demmit_Hemmit's 65 · 12-11-2008, 08:18 PM

55Series2 · 12-11-2008, 08:36 PM

There is a guy in the City of Industry that made them, they're metal too. Which is cool. I can try to get the guys info. It has been a couple years.

jchav62 · 12-12-2008, 10:23 AM

I know you already made your decision, but I still wanted to vote for the trim... I love your truck Mang, that look is killer! Can't wait to see the fininshed product.

**ChiefRocka** · 12-12-2008, 10:29 AM

I think you should forget the whole trim idea...I think it sucks and you should ship it to me !!

DEFINATELY keep the trim...looks sweet !!!

72BlckButy · 12-12-2008, 04:36 PM

Keep the trim...

502tripower · 12-12-2008, 09:10 PM

Gota go with the trim...

Tomsriv · 12-13-2008, 12:04 AM

A big part of what makes a "six-fo" Impala such a great low-rider is the dual trim strips running the lenght of the car. It just makes it look longer. I think GM figured that out in the 30's and kept it up. It to bad they never made a posh truck in the 60s like the Cameo in the 50s.
