Matching shininess of chrome to stainless. Could the bezel/screws be body colour? or keep the chrome screws?

I like them. You will need to polish up the stainless more to march the chrome though.
I still dont yute understand how the wiper extensions work. Chris?

Hey Gary
I wanted a 60s sports car, the 250 fitted that perfectly.The car wont be a 250gt replica, it will just look similar. Thanks for the reply, body colour for disc may look more factory than my metal work. The stainless for the exhaust surround is only 1.2 mm thick, but its quite tough. You can get very thin 1mm stainless cutting discs that go through anything. So make a cardboard template , mark it up and then cut it out. This hole was quite large so not to bad for getting grinder in. finish with a grinding wheel and polish up with a buffing wheel on bench grinder Simples but time consuming.

Are you using the original wiper arms?
Your exhausts are very Mazda meets Ferrari meets mini marcos!

I like. Saw a lovely AC coupe at a classic car meet on New Years Day in that colour, a Sprite as well. Looked good. I am slowly steering away from metallics......

Hey Chris
The back is ok. This idea about working for a living is highly over rated. Takes up to much time.

No idea when it starts, it may never the way the planet is going. But you do have a lovely garage and a car with a roof......
