Wow, that looks good for a non stock Ford!!

The whitewalls plus the chrome wheels make a great combo. 

A little black wash on the grille would make it even better tough.

i'm on the fence on the body color running boards, but I guess they do well with the overall custom luck of the car. 

I'm planning on using those steel wheels on a build of a '56 Ford... Lavender, white interior, supercharger 312 from the '57 AMT kit (just to keep it all AMT).

I agree with Tulio... a black wash on the grillle (and on the wheels) would work wonders. But aside from that, a very nice "old school" hot rod. B)

Thank Tony, Tulio, Craig and Harry. I thought I had done a good enough job of the black wash on the grille.  Thanks for the tips. I'll have to touch it up because I see in the pictures what you guys mean.  I'm torn on doing it to the wheels as well, Harry.  Won't it dull it down?

You could try some pencil dust on those whitewalls Joel, it should tone down the brightness and give you a little more control over how much than a wash.

No, the wash will settle in the "nooks and crannies" and flow away from the high points.
