I like it, actually I wouldn't even paint it. It looks good being kind of flat like that. That look doesn't work on all colors, but that one it is nice. Car presentation is honest. I love it,and would gravitate towards that at a car show. Runs good too. 350 2 barell should move it out good. No a.c. helps keep the weight slightly down about 100 lbs.worth which is good because convertibles are a good 1to 200 lbs.heavier
