    Here is a few pics of the stripes(car STILL in primer) but it is completely done now.
    I will post pics of it next week of the final paint and wheels and all that stuff.(I guess it will be complete minus a few little things that I still have to do.
    My uncle has done all this work for me and he has worked his butt off trying to get MY car STRAIGHT........now that is a oxymoron!!!!!!
    I cannot thank him enough for all that he has done.(y)

    Man for a minute there I thought you were pulling my leg, thought the car was going to be white until I read the post. Looks pretty good, can't wait to see it in person! What colors are those purples if you know, the light one looks like a magenta.

    just to clear it up, the white(is actually primer) my uncle likes doing the stripes first, then he paints the main color..........but the car is black with those 2 different purples.

    Just remember......its a GO car, not a show car.
    It looks OK, I told Ward it went from a 20 footer to a 5-10 footer.

    Thats going to look great John!


    I like how you made the Pink-ish stripe continue beyond the darker color at the nose of the hood. That was a good idea and looks good the way you did that. I think white would be a good choice as well after seeing the white primer with those colors. But, black is going to be perfect color to add with those two you have... can't wait to see it done!
