im not a fan of stripes, but he did a good job. I'd never trust myself to do something like that... they'd be crooked/creased/etc.

looks good. especially with those rims. i think it'd look bad with chrome.

and you should go back to the LT1 tail lights. or if you have your old ones laying around i'll take them off your hands.

Pretty sweet your dad is doing all of this for you. Its amazing what our dads will do for us and such little respect we give them in our teenage years sucks. How are you liking college up there?

college is going pretty good. i took the thing apart, and then we got the motor and trans hooked up before i had to come back. then he put things back together and got the stripes on. apparently the a/c hose that runs out of the back of the AC compressor was cut by the serpentine belt. im glad it was something small instead of the compressor. i'll have the car this weekend!!!!! yea i'm glad he's put in all this effort to get the car done.

he said it took him about 2-3 hrs? then they had to set for 3 hrs so they could dry.

Looks fantastic cky. I would've messed it up for real. Your dad obviously has skills and patience, both things I'm lacking but will come with age and time I guess. I also like the color scheme too, nice LT1.
