I found a set of wheels for the 53. I'm not going to tell anyone what I payed for them but there mine. ran them threw the bead blaster and primed them up. then I got to thinking if I had anything close for paint. got the chip out and found a part of a can of Ocean green effect from gm. to blue, no yellow in the place! so a little gold, now to light. then some black. it's as close to the 53 spruce green metallic as I can get. that and it's Sunday I can't get any paint tell Tuesday if I order it Monday. lets go for it. the Pearle in it might sparkle a little more then the flak but I Have enough left the do the other 3 on the car. now for some tires. and as long as we are messing around lets clean up the grill emblem a little to.

got the wheels mounted on the front for now I think the color combination will fit the car nicely. it will be that green on the bottom and the off white the
car is now on top. I got the rear ones painted today. we'll get the snow tires on them tomorrow and have it sitting on 4 good tires for the first time. any one know were I can get one more hub cap. I though I had 4 but one fits the wheel but doesn't match the others.
