The paint on my wife's white Ford Escape peeled on the driver's side A-pillar. Body shop said it wasn't prepped properly at the factory. Chevrolet and Toyota have also had paint issues with white paint.
Beautiful car. :like: Ahhh, the Beach Boys. The older I get the more I reminisce. Not sure how I got so old so fast. You've got me by a few years in the marriage department. We just celebrated our 48th anniversary.
I think the silver looks great. Personally, red calipers look a little outdated to me. I had the Grabber Blue calipers on mine professionally painted in a Porsche racing green. They're so bright they almost look luminescent. I've had so many comments on them, but it was expensive to have them done.
I agree, but modding a car can also get boring. I've heavily modded several cars in my lifetime, but it never seems to be enough. Regardless of what I've done, I always want to do more. I've found that no matter what I do, someone else will always be a little faster. It's an easy rabbit hole to...
Are you running 325x20 or 325x19 on the rear? I'm currently running 325x19 on the rear, but giving serious thought to switching to 325x20. As a side note I got my wheels/tires from Project6GR. Great folks to deal with. :like:

I was referring to the mid to late 1960's, and into the early 1970's. Most Pro Stock cars in the late 60's were running in the 9's. My SS 396 Nova (375 hp) ran 12.80's, but it was modified a little. Today's cars are much faster. :like:
An 11 second street car back in the day was extremely fast. A 12 second street car was fast. You also didn't have everyone telling you what they think you should or shouldn't do to make car faster on a public forum. 😉
