topless beach said:Well done! Maybe a shaker hood if your bonus is good.
Twofocused said:Nice, I have been thinking about the same hood stripes in silver for my Redfire. I cant tell, but do you have a pinstripe around the hood blackout? I wanted a 1/4inch pinstripe all around mine. Did you do a matching stripe on the decklid?
Good to see something other than the lemans stripes. Those are getting way overused.
Twofocused said:I hate to ask a bunch of q's, but is the width the same at the leading edge of the hood as it is at the windshield base? Or, did you follow the contour of the hood line?

C&L CAI, Predator 93 Octane Tune, MAC Axle-back exhaust
CDC Chin Spoiler (black), replacement spoiler (black), painted hood stripe, hood pins, hood lifts, painted rear deck taillight area,
So how about showin' us some of that booty too?
MSP said:I think you have done quite well.. Whats going to take the cake is some 18" Black Bullitts.. With some spinner knock-offs.. Get this done, and you are the man!
Thus far, the car looks most impressive for a GT... Not normal looking at all.. Very nice how black in the right places, adds a touch of nostalgia to the car..
jwgroovin said:The fastback styling is what really caught my eye first, followed by the other 60s styling cues. I knew right away I wanted to do a tribute to the original body style, not a "replica" but a tribute. I've had the car but a week but the heads I see snapping around as I drive by are even more pronounced than when I first got the car. The older crowd recognizes in a heartbeat what look I'm going after.
The wheels and tires are needed to complete the look, although I'm still debating the louvers on the rear glass. It might be too busy.
Thanks for the kind words--I'm encouraged I've done the right thing.
