Re: New Stripes!

Cage is custom. Myself and 2 friends did it all. I only paid for the tubing and a few steak dinners and a few hundred bucks.

I don't think I would have done this on a street car either. But I'm totally stoked that it turned out as I envisioned it.

You should see my storage unit It's more car parts friendly.

Thanks for the compliments guys.

A bit more of the story is here...
http://www.witchdoctormotorsports.com/ch67.htm

I just got the car back this past weekend, put the trim bits on and snapped a few pics. It's been dark/rainy by the time I get home all this week. I havn't even had a chance to wash the dust off. It's currently in the garage til I can sort out an engine issue. Hope to get it fixed and pull it out for some pictures this weekend. The paint is awesome in the sun. In the shade it looks almost black (still awesome ).
