Third vote for losing the pipes. Wheels and pipes just dont fit together

Here are some pics with the lake pipes sitting in place and one pic without the pipes. Im still on the fence with them. Sometimes I think they look alright but sometimes it just looks like extra crap since it already has shiny rocker panel moldings.

Any thoughts?

Looks like you answered it yourself. with the nice shiny rocker panels, it does look like the pipes are an add on "extra crap"

It's a beautiful car, I wouldn't busy it up too much with pipes. Sometimes less is more.

are you going to have it in any shows this spring (if that ever gets here)?

Im hoping to have it in prime steel, I just sent in my application today, hope it isnt too late.

You'll get in. I bet you might be able to get into Toppers still or at least be on the call list for cars that don't show up.

They aren't full??

I don't know for sure just based on past experience. There are ALWAYS cars that do not show and we always tried to have a few on reserve to fill the spots.

Last count from Dad was like 136 cars entered.....

I'll agree with no lakes. You might clean up that area under the rocker moulding by scuffing with scuff pad and spray bombing with satin black. I do that to most cars (even new) to make that pinch weld under the rocker "disappear".
