Just wondering whether to take the chrome trim off my black Oval,
anyone got any pics to help me decide? Or dechromed black cars?

not entirely cal-look. but this is the 55 oval of the guy that did the bodywork of my 67 last season. he told me it's a 1200A or something and came without moldings.  i think it looks pretty cool. and believe you me, i decided not to dechrome my 67 and geesh i can't even tell you how much i regret my decision now! so, do it! do it!  |

A the risk of taking this off topic... what color is this car? On my work system, it looks almost the color of Schwimmer's car... maybe a little more red but on my laptop at home, it's much more red. |
