I am not a big fan of the plastic vents on the outside. To me they just look cheap, and tacky! Not anymore, they are gone!
The aerial is also getting welded up, and it will run under the wood parcel shelf.
RJB510... yep.. shaved!
I am now at the stage where I am not to sure with the undercarriage. It was to be painted black with a ute tubliner type paint, but now I am thinking I should fully detail underneath as well. This is started to become stupid!!!!

Ahh NO! Regardless of what the vents are there for... I would have left them in. But each to their own. Sometimes I like them out, other times not but its looking good so far! You seem to have a good body to work with. Mine has been days on end of welding and grinding and stripping etc. You're gonna have fun with the underside of the car
Have you considered this? I'm basically settled on spraying under my car with Raptor Liner. Which is the Ute Bed liner from U-Pol, and you can get a tint-able version... So it will be same colour as your car. This stuff is pretty damn tough and from what i've seen, it looks alright too.
That's the best of both options I can think of.
Get some colour and some minor detailing happening. Won't come out glossy like the rest of the car but will give it some bling factor and a bit more protection than your generic black.
I wouldn't want a car, unless it was a dedicated show car to be painted underneath. I'd want some sort of stone chip protection. Just my 2c and something to think about.
