Beautiful looking paint and interior finishes. The body trim looks outstanding.

Great looking body color and finish. Like the engine detailing, looks great even without any wires added. The interior is well detailed as well.

Beautiful looking body and paint work. Clean looking trim details.

In addition to Bill's suggestion, I'm working on some headers for a Baja Buggy build and found some soft easily bendable wire in a few different colors including black in the jewelry area at a local JoAnns Fabric store. I think something on that order could be found in almost any store that caters to people that due jewelry. I have also found bulk wire at the Home Depot that has a solid copper center with a black covering in various diameters. Look at what they call "Door Bell Wire".

Great looking color and finish. Many still hold the '65 GTO in high regard as a mescal car.

Great looking color for this El Dorado. All that chrome trim and cleanly done. Like the interior.

Like the smooth body and paint work. The Ansen style wheels look good on this as well.

Great looking wagon. I also have a soft spot for the mid '50's Fords and especially '57's having owned a few back when. Really like the clean overall look of your wagon and you mentioned going too black painted wheels. That was the way I ran my base Mainliner '57 Ford two door. I had shaved the hood and front bumper as you have. The car was painted a GM commercial shade of white. The wheels were a rattle can gloss black with the '60 Ford small hub caps and in the mid '60's the real narrow white walls of the day looked good. Would like to see any improvements you make to this wagon in the future.

Beautiful looking paint finish and like the wheels done to match. The open hood looks better than a scope. -

Looks like the original builder spent some time working those headers.

Your description is similar to more than a few vehicles I have owned. I think having had to make do with some really bad vehicles that were about all we could barely afford made us appreciate our vehicles as we moved on in life. -
Consider very quietly looking around in your industry to see what other options are out there. Sometimes companies are attracted to the new shinny penny and don't appreciate those that have been a hard-working team player for a company. Don't jump until you see if their new guy carries the load so to speak. Should something that you're sure would be better presents itself you can always talk to the company about what has come available and politely let them know you have come to realize there is no future for you with their organization based on you being passed over.

Great looking paint work, like the two-tone colors. I'll have to remember your save on the dashboard. The wide whites compliment the overall look.

Amazing looking paint treatment. Like how you are able to adjust the ride height for display. The chrome trim all looks cleanly done. Funny how the stock wheel cover option looks like a specialty wheel on this.
-
Like the base 4-cylinder engine.

Pepper you say? I remember guys claiming that eggs would work, I wasn't about to try it. There was a product on the market that claimed to have some sort of egg product as part of its make up. Lasted long enough for me to get home before the upper tank seem let go again. -

Beautiful looking paint treatment. Like the body lines of the basic vehicle and wish we had something like that in 1:1 that we could buy here. Excellent interior and engine detailing. -
Beautiful looking paint finish and color. Like the body kit and the wheels.
