    My brother took a little better picture that shows the color of the stripe better. They wont be done until next week now. The owner of the shop had to leave town yesterday and wont be back until monday. He wont let his son or other workers sand and buff the Falcon. Guess he likes the car and is making it his personal project.

    Wow, that's awesome! I'll have to keep this guy in mind when I get ready to paint mine.

    My brother picked up the Falcon today. it looks pretty damn sweet. here's some crappy Iphone pics. The guy said to let the paint cure a couple
    weeks and then hit it with a polish and wax. Its a little swirly right now.

    Hey Ryan....how much you want to bet that he will change out the wheels for something "Blingier", with some shine? I bet you he'll lower the suspention a tad.

    You really think he can lower anymore then it is? Hes already tucking the whole tire in the wheelwell. Falcons kind of suck as far as wheel and tire room goes, especially in the back. And he wont be changing the wheels, he really like these and are part of the reason he wanted the car black.

    I never noticed the tires being tucked that far, I guess I was looking at the body, thinking it could be a tad lower.
