I am sure it would have made it. After all I did paint it for the LTX shoot out I can not now take the car to

Like every one says it must be seen to be believed. I thought long and hard over the past ten years on this paint job. I AM glad I did it the way I did

VERY sad you can't make that event Ellis! Proof that $HIT happens. Can't wait to see the beast in person. I'll polish some parts for you so you can do a car show if that will help make you feel better....
