Well, I took the plunge ... finally. I'll be like an 'unknown' in Lake Mary and surrounding areas ... LOL!!!! Went from this (notice it eating the [ricer] Honda):








To this:

That is AWESOME! Great choice

 

Thanks man. I was happy with the results of the prep work the guys did to get it ready to paint. I did order the F.A.S.T. throttle body, but, it was sticking really bad ... nearly hit a couple of cars because of it. I only had my shop order it because I thought they had that issue worked out/corrected nearly 2 years ago. The FAST TB is bushing driven, whereas the Holley is bearing-driven and the Holley one is a really sweet piece.

I'm all motor ... seriously thinking of a direct port 300 setup with a FJO controller. However, since I'm looking at doing a 427 aluminum shortblock motor, I may hold off until then and just put the nitrous money into the internals on that motor ... gonna' just take off weight for now and get my car lighter and lighter in preparation for the new motor.

 

that is sweet looking

 

Great looking ride..

 

looks good man....

 

Looks awesome. Very nice car.

 

wow looks great!!!

about time you got that hood painted

 

LOL!!! I bought the hood back in December, 8 months ago ... bought the blackbird stripes in November, a month before I bought the hood ... thought the stripes were gonn'a be unuseable if I didn't get it painted, so, I did. HE-HE-HE!

Thanks for all the positive comments ... they're appreciated. This is something I've wanted to do for a very long time.

 

looks good man just lower it.

 

Looks like a very nice paintjob. I like the heat extractors as well.

 

looks realy nice! a hell of alot better than just being black. i really like those blackbird stripes.

 

Looks awesome!

 

Looks a whole lot better now.

 

looks good Jeb, man i really think i want a new hood

 

Yeah, I was thinkin' maybe it was like driving a riced-out LS6 ... didn't realized what a difference it would make seeing it painted and striped ... just seems to look a lot cleaner now.

 

looks awesome

 

Wow, big differance. I'd love to see it in person now. Good choice with the blackbird stripes!

 

Lookin Good
