Full polish PLEASE

[Aitch]

Gold for now, then when you get bored you can polish the faces but leave the sides of the spokes gold.

Your car is completely stunning! Can't wait to see it on those equips, especially if you choose to paint them gold

[Robitussin]

This confirms my theory that equips look good on anything.

That first gold color had a bit too much red and kind of had a coppery look to it. Tried a different one and this one might be a bit better. Still on the old lip. New ones will be roughly 3.5"




Got the gauges. Now I just need to figure out a configuration and way to create a panel that can be accessed easily.




Looking into something like this so I can use a factory dash pad with it. Otherwise im looking at making an entire housing behind the the panel which would require a lot more. I would opt for a black panel face and less obvious indicator lights

Go DB5 style

Day off and decided to photoshop it one last time to make sure I was going forward with the gold. I love the profile of this car with that style fender mirror too.

I say go with the gold! That photo you took of the gold wheel face a few posts up looks really nice by the way

Thanks!

I tried photoshopping dark grey, black, full polish, etc and while they each had their merits gold seems to fit the style best.

Aw man those wheels kept popping up on my instagram but I didn't connect them to this car. Going to look outstanding.

Hey Keith, your car is beautiful. Great photography as well. I just bought a 122S Wagon and live in Tempe. I don't suppose you could refer me to some of your resources in town. I need a few parts and a new headliner and I'd eventually like to do some major work (like engine swap).

Local resources are pretty scarce when it comes to old Volvos. I found a shop that can do repairs and service called "The Vo Vo shop" which was a decent experience. However most of the service I have done myself. As far as parts, ipd out of Portland and eBay are going to be your best bets. I got my headliner from eBay and it worked out great.

Hoping so!


Still waiting on two of the lips, but I got the inner barrels back and two outers and mocked up a wheel. Im pretty happy with them! Still need to paint the faces. This was just a test coat

What lens do you take these amazing photos with?
