Best black car I can ever recall seeing. It looks so well proportioned looking side on and while it is an EK(!), it wouldn't work like that on an FB.

Clay is getting very bossy lately Tim😀

Nah don't listen to Clay, get rid of it and make a start on the black FB :thumbsup: :thumbsup:

My Father had a 55 Customline that was all black with a red interior. It was right hand drive and was a big beast, it was sold before I could drive and my father has since passed so I have no idea where it ended up. I would love to get hold of that believe me.

The colour combo looks great and its pretty wild you have 2 of them TIm !!

Awesome Tim, hope you had a great day.

What is the red thing in the tailpipe or are my eyes playing tricks on me?

Well it looks a very good job to me. Probably vinyl dye rather than paint would be the go. Got me thinking as I have buckets of the spray on dye.

I don't think rubber mats would absorb dye after they are cured. They were painted originally....
