Default I love red on Valentine's day

I got the wheels for the roadster back from the powdercoaters and mounted the tires today. I think I like the whitewalls but not sold on it. Anyway...one step closer to making my Barnfind roadster safe and roadworthy. Going to keep the original paint on it at least a year to make sure all is well. Then we'll see what happens.

The whitewalls highlight the red wheels.

What ever you do, don't paint that car. It looks perfect like that.
Excellent patina. You did good.

Thanks ZZ.....I value your opinion. I'm in no hurry to do any body work to it. Its very solid. Just want to put some miles on it. Ohio winters and roadsters aren't compatible.
