I swear this place ...
Is so D@MN addicting. I had a spare hour and I've never really been into stripes, but I got a set pf paint pens last week and look what happened. I know it's not much, but I wanted to say thanks to all of you for motivating the creative part of my
tiny brain.
I did my fan shroud, air bridge logo and fuse box cover.
Even got a little more artsy on the fan shroud and tried an aluminum color fade
Hope you guys/gals like it .. I do (for a 1hr mod)
Dave Q.
My attempt at fading ...
Installed ...

And what might I say brother possessed you to do this?
Let me guess it adds more RWHP than the hood seal.
Quit with the chrome and make it go wuss!

Project car? Is that the one that's going to actually go instead of just look pretty?

Thanks bro. You and me are "right here".
I better hit the sack. I gotta get up @ 6 and run for an hour, before picking her up. Otherwise, I'll be so tired, I might do something like this ...

. Now there is just the needed amount of red under the hood!
