Olly, I like everything you did. Engine looks great. Paint color looks great. There is no better color! Your stripe idea looks really neat. And those calipers look great! I only hope I can make mine look that shiny when I repaint them. Very nice job. And gotta love the orange tools. Everyone will know they are yours! I was laughing about that when I read it.

I like your front stripe idea better than your original. I'm not a fan of having the stripes go all the way down the front end and/or over the roof. That's the way Fords are striped. Not Chevys.

All in all it looks good, I like the calipers. And what are those headers you got hanging there? Hookers???

steve-
no will not go over the roof, but WILL continue down the decklid and down the back, starting at the rear window.

rybar- i agree, I was thinking of these stripes all along, but i'm not good at freehanding at photoshop, so I just continued them over the front.

they're pacesetter headers, the ones I finished modifying, they're waiting for $$ for coating.

someone in apperance and detailling suggested cutting out pieces of thin aluminum in the shape of the back of the outer brake pad, then polishing it, then i'm going to epoxy it to the back of my brake pad, I think that'll really set it off.

thx for input, keep it coming.

Not too often do people come up with original stripes that look good. Either too wide, too narrow, dont flow with the body or something...But those look pretty damn cool!
