Paint - black base with a very dark blue, almost black, pearl over the top...terrific shimmer in the right light...

Engine - grey motor (of course

) with reproduction Repco crossflow cylinder head, Norman supercharger and Vauxhall steel crank...

Entourage - Jennifer Hawkins, the lead singer from the Pussycat Dolls and another of your choice...

But keep the chromies...

if you go to a paint shop that isn't just after big money you can get pearl acrylic quite easily. i had to go to my old hometown to get my paint as port macquarie paintshops are 2pak addicts. they reckoned that you can get hardly anything in acrylic anymore, but where i got my paint from said yeah what colour do you want? we can do them all. so ring around to find someone happy to deal in acrylic.

There you go Jimmy! Problem 1 solved! Now all you have to get is that engine and the entourage. Shouldn't be a problem!

cal, i just thought i'd go for something different instead of the lowered whitewalls etc thing-seems far too common these days and im not one to conform lol
cheers guys, jimmy

Who sais anything about lowering

If it's not sitting high enough to give you a nose bleed, it just ain't right

Black, decked super low with thin chromies or black steelies & thin white walls on 75 or 80 series tyres.
I wouldn't go with white letter T/A's, they are very 80's -ish but your car.

matt black body, pimp glitter electric blue roof, chromies, lowered, lakes pipes and visor.

gettin all sorts of ideas here! my mate just mentioned another mate's car that was done black with gold flake through it.
I realise the white letter tires are a bit old school but that's why it interests me, something different-as long as it looks good altogether.
when time for paint comes i'll give you a yell to find some paint shops RB, thanks for that.
Cheers fellas, Jimmy

My 2cents
Shaved bonnet & boot (no badges, bird, lock or fuel filler)
remove bumperettes,
Leave all chrome on the sides,
big and little chromies with crossplys
slight rake,
gloss black.

Cheers
Jeff

Shit i can see Jimmy washing lots of dishes at the function centre to pay for all these things lol!

Good to see you all getting behind him.

Looks like BLACK eh mate! bloody hot just the same but hey they will be your girls you're melting in the summer !!!

The idea of losing the chome on the bonnet sounds good, and I've already said the straight bar without bumperettes would look good.
