I held off on painting under the hood untill next year. I still have some plans for the motor. My car is going to the shop this weekend, to get a cam put in. I'm also going to get the heads and intake port matched.

Man that yellow is the s$$t, you came out better with the 5 gallons instead of 3(more is better). After seeing the yellow I would have taken the black off too. I also see you could'nt help but to touch the motor LOL!!!Go to thirdgendecals.com and pick out some stipes for it. Maybe the black, white or silver. that is a bad azz color keep it up. Oh, I dodged a deer the other day in my new 2000 Camaro (talk about scared!!)I was'nt worried about me LOL!!!

dlx3200 - Just curious, but did you put anything underneath your carpet to drill into for the bottle brackets? Or did you just go through the floor and carpet? Thanks

I went through the carpet and the floor.If you try the same thing, make sure there's nothing under the car where you decide to drill.

Cool

Got the car back

I need to do a couple things yet and get some better pictures but here's a pretty good idea of what it looks like

I'm very happy with everything and the color choice. Getting lots of compliments so far!

Car looks awesome!! I have tossed the idea around of painting mine the same color, although I like the black roof and mirrors on mine, and would like to see what yours would look like with the black roof and mirrors. I may have to fool around in photoshop and see what happens.

Very nice looking car. Where is the rear ss emblem? You'll get a lot of looks in that thing.

Looks real nice Brent, I would love to see some pictures of it in the sun to really bring out the brightness. I know it's alot brighter than what the pictures show. At least on the vettes it is
