Default L88 Hood Stripe

I finally found some sun!

Here's a couple of shots with the hood in place. It still needs to be aligned and have the latches installed, but things are moving forward.

For the hood stripe we blended a little darker version of the metallic yellow giving the stripe a ghost affect.

I'm not sure where the stripe is in any of you pics. Am I blind?

It's tough to see until you're right on it. Look at the first shot again.

Thanks Howard,

Still no test drive, but soon. I received the mechanical safety certificate last weekend so all I need now is the appraisal, insurance and plates.

It can't come soon enough!
