Your lucky, my original colors were way worse than that!

He was not supposed to post that pic with our special autocross alignment! This project is quicky becoming a favorite of ours. We molded the scoops, actually by necessity because the inserts fit so badly, but the end result made it a awesome hood. Looks hot with the 68 chrome grill in front of it. We will see color in the next few days. Originally Posted by Steve68

Just a quick update to let you know Frank is laying down the base coat as we speak and should be laying out the stripes tomorrow.
I will post pictures as soon as they are available.

YES YES YES!!!! Thats what I am talking about. Frank looks great!
Nine Ball your probably right, I just have this thing that if a car has scoops, stripes, and a good looking set of wheels that I have all the things for a great looking car.

Thanks, I sure hope I can get it together without beating the paint. My worst fear is the spring loaded jack handle, It seems to have gotten every vehicle in the house.

Looking great! Truely an insperation to my 67 project.
I was wondering, why the black was sprayed before white for the stripes?

Hey Blaze, The stripes were laid out at the desired width, sprayed black, then a 1/8 tape was put along the edge before shooting white to give it a perfect black pinstripe. Gives it a real formal "tuxedo" look. It will really pull in the black and white houndstooth interior.
Here it is all shinny. Couple days and it will be back in Maryland.
