    You have to trust your painter, ask a lot of questions though. If you show alot of interest in the job, He'll know how important, it is to you to do it right. The good ones think of themself's as artists, and know that a job done right is the best form of advertising.

    I like the way your Car is looking! Has a serious business like look to it, without being too flashy!

    you're absolutley correct, my painter did have the arstist attitude and spent alot of time on prep.

    Thank You for the feedback, still work in progress, wanted it to look different and stay simple

    Stripes or no Stripes

    It looks good right now, without stripes, the first 3-4 times I saw S-197 Mustangs with stripes I thought how cool, how retro! Everybody has stripes now, stand out from the herd without them. You can always change your mind and stripe the Car later!

    What are you doing, or have done with the Exhaust? Saleen put the Edelbrock axleback on the Parnell Jones Edition Cars. Very unique sound! Just on the boardline of too loud, but stands apart from the others. Part of the PJ sound is due to different camshafts, and a longer stroke, but the Edlebrock axleback would set you apart from the others.

    Really? I have always cleared the underside of all my hoods and never had an issue.
