    The Hood is just laid in for the pic...the whole car has to be rubbed and buffed out. Kinda get an idea how its gonna look with the Grabber blue lines...
    Not tooo shabby for paint from a can:D It was a perfect match to the original Wimbledon White Code M

    Looks great. Don't forget to powder-coat the windshield wiper arms black.

    And I hope you're not gonna leave those scoops blue. They need to be the same color as the rest of the hood...

    :cool:

    Kind of a pet peeve of mine...but scoops on a Grabber hood are suppose to be the same color as the car (as T.L. noted)

    Like I said...just a pet peeve of mine.

    Thx Guys, actually the scoops back to the end of the bullet shape on the hood are gonna be blue...thought that would look pretty good along with the blue bottom lines.
    The mags and tires arent long for this car...I'm gettin a set of Keystone Raiders 14x6 for the front and 15x10 on the back.
    Lack of traction is killin me on the holeshot:eek: :cry:

    Russ its hard to tell from the pic because of the angle but I've got room to spare because of the height of the rear...Ive measured and remeasured...if you'll look at my "Under Construction " thread you'll see what I did to the rear end to accomadate the tires
