LMAO!!!!

I was going to put a bunch of stickers on the underside of the hood too since I ran out of room on the radiator support... Like Moroso, Iskendarian, Offenhauser, etc... Stuff I don't have on the car.

Purple looms are always welcome... at least on Husky game day.

Well actually out here green is a more POPULAR color, TREE HUGGERS!!!!

Anyways, as Jimmy H. here from Seattle would of said, I am kind of diggin that purple haze color... <img border="0" alt="[jester]" title="" src="graemlins/gr_jest.gif" /> Another long day at work, I really need rest. <img border="0" alt="[boring]" title="" src="graemlins/gr_zzz.gif" /> or need help! <img border="0" title="" alt="[Smile]" src="gr_stretch.gif" />

Cool I need one.

I might handpaint the hoodscoop and some interior panels with a brush, should I wash the panels first?

I have to chime in here with a confession:

Father forgive me, I have sinned. I too had wire loom (yellow) on my car. It lasted for about 3 days. I actually went to the track once with it. I was embarrassed to open the hood in the staging lanes. I know all the f-body guys were laughing as they walked by.

Oh well, you live and learn. I am proud to say however that my car is sticker free!
