Default [PICS]: Custom 2-tone Paint Done!

Ok, it has been done for a little while now but I've never posted pictures. This was a HUGE project that took about 6 months to complete. The debate was to go with a solid color. Either orange, gray, or blue. Greg (body & paint mastermind) offered a one-off 2-tone job. I was not sold on the idea until he laid out a quick stripe as seen in picture one. Now the stage was set. Everything was stripped, disassembled, reassembled multiple times to ensure the very best fit and finish. Tons of custom plastic and glass work was done. Here is a brief time line with pictures.

Initial layout of stripe and shaving.


Blocking.


Getting crazy.


Real crazy... my favorite mod.


Getting the hood ready.


Prep for the stripe.


Stripe color is down.


2 tone the jams as well.


Bumper covers ready to go.


Getting close now.




Lets cut to the FINISHED PRODUCT! Had a photo shoot with forum member Scott (joker #9). He knows his stuff with a camera! Thank you!

Looks really good man. I think if you went with some different wheels, it would set the paint off better.
