A good colour combination David, it looks very smart and quite authentic 50's which really suits.

I'll be interested to see how you go with the rubber on the fender skirts. I have to do the same work on mine soon. There were heavy staples used on mine, so I'm thinking of getting some the same if possible and just bending them into original holes. They must have had quite a 'heavy duty' stapler to punch them through 18g metal back then. Reckon I'll use some adhesive also which will have the added benefit of stopping any road water seeping through the joint.
