Getting the car painted
I went out to my friends shop this weekend in Watertown S.D. We took my car apart so he could start on the prep and paint work. I ended up ordering a Kenne Bell Hood and Carvaggio rear spoiler. It's going to have a very suttle flame job over the hood and into the doors. The flames will be silver like the car but a slight shade different so that it can really be seen at diffrent angles in the sun light. Removed the body side moldings also. I can't wait until it's done. Have to wait another month before I get it back. Not sure what happened to my camera in the last pic.

Thank you for all the positive comments. This is the first car I have ever had painted and let me tell you trying to decide on the color of flames and how you would like them on the car is mind boggling
Today it was 83 degrees and sunny here in Minnesota, my car has been gone for a month and I am really missing it now. I'll just have to read posts by everyone here to get through this!

Best of luck with the paint job. Post up some pics when done.
