Got my car back from the painter!!
I am very happy with the results!
Picked my car up Sunday... Artic White looks sweet in my mind!! Here are a couple of pics I took this morning, keep in mind she is not polished (which I can't do for at least 3-4 weeks), missing my louvers (got to put 'em on sometime this week), and the headlight buckets need to be painted black (have to wait a couple of days so the paint will harden properly before I start taping around the light buckets)...
But other than the small details she came out exactly the way I wanted, even better probably!!!
Before
After
These pics are not the best (taking on an old digi camera) and it was cloudy/raining this morning when I took these... once I have all of the pieces back on her I will post some more!
let me know what ya think!!

I honestly would never recognize it! Looks good but you really need some nicer quality pics to show it off.

hehehe...how did I know you were going to reply!
I know, I need some better pics. The digi cam I had was a huge POS as you can see from the grainy pics. Once I get all of the pieces back on her and I am able to wash and wax her I will be getting a lend of my other buddies digi cam, his camera takes incredibly clear pics.
I was just so happy that I wanted to share with the group
hehe
I wish I could afford a repaint on my beast...

The new colour looks fine but I liked the old colour. Gonna put some double bar pinstripes back on it ? How about using blue ?

Haven't decided yet on the double bar pinstripes yet. I figure I can put them on any time so I thought I would wait and see how I like it without her "belt".
Original IROC's came with the stripes so I am thinking yes. It will either be silver/black (with silver on top) , or silver/blue.
Thanks for the compliments.
