Thanks!
 
The car will go back for a final, final CS&B in the fall so the graphics will go on after that.  He isn't happy with the way the hood turned out so he wants to take it back down to the paint and reshoot the clear.  Then the "Screamin' Chicken" will go on next spring.
 
In the meantime the interior will go back in and we can enjoy driving it for the rest of the summer...!!!

Sweet looking car there.



Corvettes and women are the same...You want to make love to them but they keep breaking down.

While I have not seen the "final" version, the pictures don't due justice to the paint. The finish is outstanding! Thumbs%20Up

Very nice Jim Thumbs%20Up  But I can't believe you'd tow a GM Product with a Furd Wits%20End  I love the last shot, looks like a georgous stable you got there.
