The cosmo is gangster, it has to either be white or black.

Scott, maybe while chuck has the booth set up you should do the lemon. Or would using a booth take away from that "Custom" look that you're going for?

And white'll be easy for the FD and would look the best with the least amount of work since its already white. Sucks that the car wasn't originally white though.
And I think that the cosmo needs a lot more bodywork other than the paint job, lol.
Oh, and the paint job on your mom's van will be worth more than the van.... Kinda like the engine in my vert.

Thats a great idea! Can we throw in a handful of leaves and let some bugs loose inside the booth after the car is freshly painted???

Quoted for truth, sadly. Black is sexxi but keeping it clean and looking good is a nightmare.

I wanna see the new headlights on the FD, post pics.

My vote is the same white on both ... with some black accents somewhere around the grill area on the cosmo to set it off.

Being one who grew up on Strombergs and Webers, FI is so much easier.
But of carbs the WEBER is the easiest and the KING.
