The stripes are fantastic.......

ground effects (Wing West?) look great.......she is clean, and tastefully done......

but I'm at a loss to figure out what brand of STB you have, custom?.....don't get me wrong, it looks great as well!.......

2wacko: Thanks man


Blu Beast: Thanks for the compliments. Yes, the ground effects are Wings West. The STB is BMR, but I painted it silver metallic (can't really tell in the pic) to match the stripes, calipers, and interior.

It is going across. It's the way the picture is taken that makes it look like it laying at an angle.
