Great job on it. The level of detail and cleanliness is outstanding. It deserves to be in a magazine.

Look into "Preval" sprayers at your local Sherman Williams. I've used them several times with very good results.

Beautiful car man, absolutely beautiful. Will this still fit the rules of the Street Car Shootout at Gateway?

The paint I got mixed at a local parts store. Alot of people can do it you'll just have to check around I'm in Missouri so I don't think that will help you.



As far as Gateway Street Car Shootout, I don't know everything is stock suspension. So I think it would but, the car will prolly only run high 9's on the motor and I'm not spraying ,even if I do it won't be soon.

Just a set of DOT's and he is ready. Really that is the only rule.

Tim - 9 anything is good to win, everyone that has won this year has been in the 10's except for that red SS camaro

You are real close to both of us. Tim lives off of Mid Rivers Mall Dr. and I live down Birdie Hills. Hopefully both of us will make a few trips to Gateway when the weather cools off.
