    Snow blind

    With certain colors my brother actually wears sunglasses when he paints. He says it helps cut down on the snow-blind effect and makes it a little easier to prevent zebra-striping, which is caused by improper overlapping.

    Nice job, and cool color. My Grabber project is yellow too. At first I was going to change the color, but it's since really grown on me. Nothing beats the contrast of black stripes on a yellow car.

    PS: I like the scoop too.

    Nice job John !! Since there are alot of yellow/black combos out there why not try something different. How about gunmetal or silverfrost striping outlined by black or bergundy stripes ?? Just my :2cents:.

    done.....minus rear window trim...which I need :D

    This is a very poor paint job, as some will see at the Round-up, every word that one can use to descibe a bad paint job can be used on this one.....but it was very fun and VERY educational. My oldest son has now decided he wants this car for his 16 b-day instead of a 66' stang :dance: So I will enjoy it for the next couple years in this state....state of a mess......and Adam and myself will redue the car in 2008.

    *the first pick is after cutting 1 round-off the front springs....its sitting to low for me :rolleyes: so I am going to put another set of springs in it and try again. :D

    I think it looks like a great color combo! And as said here before - anyone can write a check for a paint job, you did this yourself and that wil always meen more to you!


    great job deserves a nanner guy! - :bananaman
