Re: Lets see some sweet paint

i almost had a really sweet entry for this... we tried to do it today.... but it just wouldnt work with that damn front cavity... well... maybe with some work in the future i can make her look like a p-40... till then... i'll have to settle with a normal color... *sigh*

Re: Lets see some sweet paint

Hey bsporty your car dose count looks great.To everyone else mine is in my avitar or click my name and check out my album let me know if it counts.Bigdave i have the same hood but I reworked the front of it. The difference is subtle but its there and the stripe will go all the way back when repainted.
