Naw, that (golden) Pearl White is the ticket. Beautiful.

I see that new crate (post 1987) sbc center bolt valve covers. FI & the Mustang II, etc, etc. That is an awesome ride.

To "Sleeper"; I love what you did with the headlights on your white "Harley" HHR Panel. I also have a white panel and have never liked the front end headlight design. IN my opinion. It's the one truly lacking feature of the look of the car. Well done.

Sean- Thank You kindly. They used to sell fiberglass covers like what mine look like, they were too thick & costly. So I made my own. IMO it adds a bit of attitude..
Take good care of the White Panel. ✌

"Sleeper". I love how it changes the attitude of the look. Thinking about just getting some white paint and masking tape and doing the same. Really does look 100% better. It's a shame that Chevy (General Motors Holden) didn't sell these in Australia. Australia has a long love affair with panel vans and I could see 1000's of dads buying these for their sons, there.

Sean- Or some 3MŽ White gloss vinyl. This way it could be removable if you ever want to. That's what I used, mine has been on there for years. I think our Panels are getting more sought after. Which I'm not complaining about. LOL

Cheers for the heads up on that 3M white vinyl, Sleeper. I'll look into it for sure. Yeah, I love my panel. Such a cool car. Only wish it was an SS. Not complaining though. Such a cool car. You know what would be super expensive now, would be the ones that Coca Cola had. Anything with that branding fetches big bucks...
