I CAN DIG IT!!
Harry, if you haven't, you should check out Gary Seeds work... He paints real cars patterns mostly 60s and 70s style lowriders, but he did a 1:1 53 Bel Air I believe... It was patina but the roof was patterned very beautiful work with mexican blankets over the front and rear seats... If I can find the pic, I'll post it up ...
I agree the rims need to be sunken in more so they fit better on the tires.... Otherwise this is killer!
