Welcome, I'm also from Michigan, what area are you in?
58s are starting to show up more and more I see!

You can't go wrong with black, maybe a flake paint job on the roof, and get the car lowered down a bunch and drive it!
 
I would like a low sheen black paint job. The body is in good shape. I wan't to try and put the new seat covers on my self? Can't be that hard
 
Welcome, glad to see more full size cars coming out. What dirtyrad says, make it safe and drive the you know what out of it. and no seats are not hard just pull them tight and do it on a warm day.
 
Welcome to RRR! Yeah - what Dirtyrat said. Drop it as low as it'll go, black, and cruise it. A 58 Belle doesn't need much to be cool. Eventually some pinstripes, skirts, maybe some lead work....
