There is an image in the post...don't know why you can't see it, unless you have some AV/script software that won't allow it, like "Noscript"...
Try This link, and see if you can see it from there...

also, when I first came to this thread early this morn, the pic took quite a while to load...I got the red X for about a minute before the image appeared.

Yeah, its pretty hot..
The color is actually 2006 Viper GTS Blue... Metallic / Pearl

I can't post ant more pics right now.. they would be too revealing.. lol!

When the car is done (hopefully soon) I will post em all.

The Tranny, install and build is going to be done at a place called Bowtie Transmissions, in Hesperia, CA. Its a 700R4, with a special new lightweight poly crossmember, and 4Spd linkage conversion kit.

THen interior, and I should be all done! Finally!

The trannd install is around $3200 - $3500 with the custom build, and parts. Not a bad deal.

Louis - What paint did you use on the car?  I went w/a recent BMW color that is almost the same as your color. Your's looks a touch lighter and I really like it!
