I was thinking more along the lines of the "Hawaian look" white seal kits we used to sell back in the day at Mainly Foreign.

I like the look, but it might be a pain to keep white running boards white.  Either way, it looks 10000% better than it did a few weeks ago!   8)

Decided on the black after i did an experiment with how quick the white running boards would get dirty. Also it looks like the engine and possibly the entire car will be going to Alabama for the next part of the build.
