yeah, that was my car. I happened to stop by one day for a progress report and Bruce was painting your car.

Uhhhh, just curious... what did you think of your experience with Bruce? I am unable to decide what I think is going on with my car and my bill.

Thanks,
Bryan

Man, that is just so well put together - the whole package and balance from paint to wheels, and interior to engine. Very very very nice!

The car looks immaculate. I like .

Green is my favorite color (not all shades) and I particularly am fond of the contrasting colors.

Thanks for all the comments. I really appreciate it. The car has been an obsession for a few years now. I went to great lengths to make the hood fit...breaking the fenders loose to raise them and shaving the hood. With hindsight, I should have taken Yellow 72's approach to grafting a scoop onto the stock SB hood.

Without the consistent excellent help from this forum, the car wouldn't be near as nice. I lucked out on the painter as well.
