I appreciate the diversity of opinions here. My car appears very similar to factory on the outside, with a few minor exceptions. The base coat/clear coat has been polished to a far better finish than new, because I like the idea of building a car to look as if the assembly line guys were more than just hourly guys trying to make a living. I went the "Big wheel" route and catch grief from a few purists now and then. I agree that on many cars, certainly white, yellow and sublime, the omission of the blackout is a bad look regardless of what Ma Mopar did. Yes, it IS my car and I don't live to please other people. When someone cares enough to spend $25000 to resurrect a forgotten 318 car, they deserve to do whatever they want. Thanks for the input.
