I have always like the original Shelby stripes, but how about this version?

Randal, can you put up the pic like in your avatar only regular sized?
I think the position and width of you air vents are what I'm after (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/smile.gif) JP, I'm gonna keep my engine lid "as-is" except for the stripes. KT |

Oh, that... (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/cool.gif)
Not quite full track car, yet. I drive around on the back roads and here and there in town. If ( when (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/wink.gif) ) race seats and full cage are in, I may draw the line. |

I like that a lot and so does my wife. (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/idea.gif)

$3050 out the door, all inclusive. i take it apart. antenna and lower sail panel trim delete, color match a smooth top that i have. L96D(silver metalic) 2-stage. i thought about a road trip via los poncho's, fly home-fly down, drive back. roughly the same ammount after everything is totaled up and no worries about a long drive home with the new paint. i've never had a qoute under $5500 local, and that's with me taking it apart. it's nice when you can look at the painters work first hand. i don't care about a photo album full of pictures. he'll assure me of a completion date.

I'm back.
I found a little bb sized rust bubble right in front of the passenger side door on the fender. I picked at it and opened it up and now it's the size of a silver dollar (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/ohmy.gif) KT ( thanks for the wide stripe shot, BTW. ) Attached image(s) |

I also welded the wiper spray nozzle holes shut, too. Attached image(s) |
