Oh man!!! LOL This is crazy. I got about another week and hopefully my Sunoco should arrive. Then it's getting painted....the same way. My husband is a painter so it's also something that he gets to do himself. Show after pictures.

Now why would you want to do that? Do like everyone else with the Berger stripes along the sides of the cowl...

Please don't tell me that you are from around the DFW metroplex.

Oh well... mine will be the "First" one around here,,, here is the original. #15

Thanks again for the kind words.

LOL Not to worry just got off the phone with my husband and he said won't be doing that paint scheme after all. He wants something different. We are in San Antonio so no need to worry. How did the hood get delivered? Mine should come the week of the 22nd.

Cool thanks. I'm getting it mailed to my home. Hopefully it won't be damaged. Always worry about that. I keep telling my husband to come up with something unique but I have to wait and see. I'll keep you posted. Again post up the after pics.

make sure you check the hood before signing the deliever papers, or else you'll have to be dicking around with the shipping company for a couple of months to pay up the repair bill!!!

Makes me jealous. When I ordered my Sunoco there was a 6 week waiting list plus shipping time. I need to check tomorrow and see when I'll be getting it.

I never thought of the single stripe down the middle. Good idea. Post up some pix after you finish.

LOL Man my mom just called and said some dude came and dropped it off at the house...when I was told that I would get some sort of notice prior to it's delivery. Ryan so far he is thinking of keeping white till he can get creative. He's on his way home right now (yes he left work) to check it out. The delivery people just put in the backyard against the wall! As quick as he is getting home you'd think I told him I was in labor!

Any new pics yet? Sorry about the

I ordered the hood on August 28th and it's already at home waiting for me. I don't know if the fact that I had it going to a home address and not a business had anything to do with it. Hopefully you get yours soon.
