That looks sweet! The paint looks a foot deep with the stripe hovering somewhere in the middle    :2thumbs:
:iagree: that was the first impression i got too, that it looked really deep :2thumbs:

Thanks guys, it's been about 5 years since I pulled the motor out to fix the rear main seal that started this whole thing! I planned this "Welcome Home" party for my car and invited a few people over, I know the painter wasn't ready to turn the car loose yet. He still has a bunch of my parts that I should get back next weekend and I need to take the hood back to him as well since he isn't done with it yet. After this party tomorrow, I'm going to drop the k member out and clean/repaint it. \
