      Yeah...that's what I'm looking forward to. Putting it back together should be a lot more fun then taking it apart. I'll finally get to see it take shape.

      J.T. Your car was one of the ones I reference when picking colors. I love how it looks. But your site is down so I haven't been able to look at any of your pictures. The white stripes look great against the Viper Blue. I wonder....what do you think a white SS stripe would look like on it with the Viper Blue? The SS stripe is the one that goes across the upper valance, over the fender and straight down the body side..

      Tony,
      Hobbystage crashed or something...just been too busy and lazy too post the pics on a new page..... and I think the SS stripe idea would look good.... I went with the Rally Stripes because it was what I remembered seeing as a kid....did you tell your paint guy you wanted the stripe allready? my guy threw a hissy fit said I didnt tell him about it and he hadnt figured that into my quote etc. etc. even though I told him from the beginning ....I even brought him a Viper Gts die cast Toy with the paint and stripes and said this is the exact color and scheme i want...

      No...he was cool with it. Just told me to make sure I got him a stencil kit or some dimensions to do it. He's a pretty laid back guy. TonyL did a photoshop for me.



      I don't know......I leaning toward it.

      Tony,
      That looks sweet....I'd do like you said though and put the colors next to each other before deciding...my decision was easy I went with exactly what came on the Viper...the pearl white on the caddy's is nice its the same color my Escalade is...Attachment 12084....and DEFINATLEY order the stencil kit...its cheap and right on as far as the design and legnths etc. the stripe should be...

      no, not white.. go with a slightly pearlesent white as found on some infinities and Caddys.. will stand out in the crowd just a bit and would look stunning on the Viper blue paint.
