I really appreciate all you guys encouraging comments along the way.

Stripes are on and touched up and now we're in the middle of the foiling process. I've really gotta work on my photography in bringing out the red pigments in my pictures.

Looking good Joe, I like also the color, raspberry indeed!

Those Camaros from the 70's are really mean looking muscle cars!

Looking great Joe. Very nice foil work - last time I tried I had a batch of the stuff that won't stick :ballbat:
Thanks,
John

Thanks you guys. I got a gloss coat on today which REALLY set the color off. When the room airs out I'll get some shots of it before I start the wet sanding and polishing processes.
