haha, thanks Tony, I must say man I love the hugger...**** it was bad ***..
So, I got a little inspriation, and the evil twin was born...I am glad you like it..I LOVE it..I walked into the garage last night and just stared..like one of those Armor All ads "Go ahead...Stare"
Manta is next! Tony, how much did you pay for the hood only...and was it hard to explain to the painter what you wanted exactly??
Thanks

The guy that painted my stripes happens to be a bigtime f-body fan and collector. His Wife posts here as Teri9672. They own a paint/body shop here in Houston, and have painted several Mantas for people here. Front/rear stripes were $800 if I remember correctly.
