    Alan the bigger pictures look great. Good luck getting it back together so you can drive and enjoy the Barracuda.

    Dwight sent me some stripe details on moparts. I thought I'd share them here so everyone that needs to see how they install can get a good view  Here's the link

     :clapping: that was great with the pics showing inside the doors of Dwights car, i was not sure how they finished it off in their.  The pics he sent still did not quit show under the bumper like the Green car.  What if you asked him how the pin stripe finishes in behind the front and rear bars of the Green car he has, Alan.  :dunno:

    Hey!!!  My stripes came in today. The car is being color sanded today and tomorrow and buffed then waxed. Shame I may not be able to install the stripe kit till I get back from work for a month. It will be eating on me the whole time I am on the road.

    The stripes were made Dec 28th. They came with a squeegy and 2 pages of directions ,trouble shooting and warnings. Each stripe is printed on the back of each strip where it is to be installed. I am afraid of doing it wrong since I am a left handed lemon born on leap year, I am certain it will cause me a headache :roflsmiley:  I may splurge and pay someone to install them for me.  145 bucks total to make, ship and insure.

    I guess my project will be on idle for the next 4 weeks. I got my flight Itinery today via email, says I check out of California feb 3  then to sioux for MSHA annual refresher then home on Feb 6th for 2 weeks.  I plan on overtime every week while I'm gone. I can use the extra 1k a week to keep moving forward on my car. But my wife just asked me if I can plant 30 more cypress trees around the property when I get in....DARN..... Honey Do'sssssssssss..  

    I will get a shot of the car for you guys when he finishes up saturday. Also my gaskets came in today from DMT for the drip rails, so maybe I can hang some chrome before I leave :2thumbs:

    Your car looks great!!  This picture kinda freaks me out a little bit.  Just the way the black on the bottom blends in with the shadow under the car.  Pretty wild!

    The other guy is the person who painted my car.  I can't wait to make the long journey back home so I can put the stripe on the car. Also some more chrome. I still have a long ways to go.   

    You just never know what is lurking in those dark shadows :roflsmiley:  (JAWS)  the cuda is on the prowell
