Thanks! Im glad i went with this choice of color. I got some more wrench time in and got the hood, rockers and back glass in. Also got the new tires mounted. Still a fair bit left to do but getting closer everyday. Rims need a polish bad, dont mind the dust. Next time i post a pic of her, it should be all done, cleaned up and in the sun. Hopefullly that will be soon! Heres a couple teaser pics for now.

I see you painted the belt moldings still attached. Any issues painting in the crevices?

Really looks good bro, the paint is just incredible!

Stance is a bit high, (for my taste) would you ever consider lowering it just a bit?

Thanks, ya actually right after i painted i found it looked like it needed to be lowered a bit, never even crossed my mind before. Only thing is that i wouldnt want to be dragging anywhere, i plan on installing the long tube headers soon and not sure if lowering it will be a bad idea with them. The roads any pretty bad here.

Just send a message to one of the administrators asking them to change it and make sure to send them the correct name you want it changed to. That is what I did a while ago.

I believe I sent mine to ShanMan14

Also send some other names just in case the one you want is unavailable.
