Looks nice! I can't help wonder what a bitch-kitty it was to do the front scoop

Beautiful job on the stripes and color combination.
It had to be tough to work around the scoop and rear.

Hi Tom,
I used a Roland SV 12 as you can see here :

Yes he looks a little bit like me. So I know now that my wife was not having an affair with the postman.

It took me 2x2 hours. I had to heat the vinyl, so it would strech a little bit.
