Re: My 61 Panel

I like the grille too, I did that a few years back on my 65. I wish the junkyard that I got the grille from was still around. They had dozens of 60-66's. Now its a Lowes. The C60 grille is a tight fit, but def looks good!

I was thinking the same thing after I posted it. Maybe not yellow, I was thinking more like a cream color. Just my taste. I don't care for the same color wheels as the paint on the body. But black wheels look good with green too.

Nice build! You're doing a great job. I spent 5 years in Germany and never saw anything like this on the autostrada! Keep up the good work.
