    And no the request didnt come from Michael Jackson (GUILTY by the way). I've been posting about some carbs I put on and was asked to see the entire car, I never realized I hadnt posted pics since I painted it. Striping by none other than BARNETT.
    Well, heres the pics!
     
  2. Nice tires and wheels :rolleyes: :rolleyes: :rolleyes: It certainly looks better with the www's and steelies, the new carb set-up is nice.

    what color is that by the way? its beautiful! i was thinking of a similar color for a recent motorcycle project - along the lines of that GM color going on the trucks right now.

    The color is PPG Copperhead Metallic, I got the color from the TV show TRUCKS..its the same color thats on the Copperhead project Stacey built.

    And YES, I shot it in a nasty, dirty plumbing shop bay with a $15 Harbor Freight gun....its just a matter of how much sanding your willing to do!!

    The paint looks killer! Always loved the color on Copperhead. Cant believe it was with a Harbor Freight gun. A little hard work sure goes a long way! Love the style of the car too. Great job!

    Very nice car, you've nailed the look. Good to find that there are others who can't be fooled by Michael Jackson's lawyers. He'll do it again mark my words.

    How is the new setup running by the way. :)

  23. Steve, you know I've always dug your car, but the new wheels make all the difference!! Man, I'm glad you ditched the other ones. I'll bet your club brothers are good-n-confused, huh?! :D
