69 SLED Finally To Paint and Body!

I'm torn...
The new inner fenders do look amazing! But I had asked for matt black, so the engine bay would look more freshened up, but not over done. Now the much (much) less than show quality engine is going to look way out of place.
Not sure, I can ask him to repaint it matt black -- Ughh!

For me, I would clean the top of the engine up and touch it up as good as I could and maybe add a little chrome and run with it. There is no way I would have those repainted matte black. There are guys that would kill to have an engine compartment that looked like that....

Just my 2¢ worth....

I'm at the "crossroads" of finalizing the paint scheme for my '72 Suburban...and the inner fenders is one place I can't decide on either! I originally thought it would be matte black, but after seeing yours, I'm leaning towards color (Wheatland Yellow in my case). Your paint is amazing!!!
