TO CARB OR NOT TO CARB

I came very close to pulling the trigger on 6 new Stromberg carbs for my 6X2 intake, but ultimately decided to invest the money in a business venture instead.
But after doing my research, I did find a great local vendor that I wanted to share. Riley Automotive is based in Denver and sells some incredible traditional hot rod parts. Eric is a good guy and a wealth of information if you have questions.
And no, the attached photo is not Eric. Too bad. It could be good for business.

Frame and firewall color: A creamy white solid color.

Engine color: Metallic aqua ( a sixties AMC color).
Upholstery: Pearl white with subtle accents of aqua.
Wheels: Vintage torq thrusts on the rear with white walls. Chrome reverses on the front white walls
