Whoa, flat black is gonna look awesome no matter what color striping you have on it. I give you my vote for the best looking pony already. Just for comparison purposes whats the paint job setting you back. Awesome car man, can't wait to see it.

I haven't been able to post as much latley, as I've been working a ton of hour's. :bang: For those that have been interested in the progress of my car, I wanted to give you guy's an up-date. There's alot of thing's on deck and thing's are really coming together. So here is project "Skunkwork's":
1: CDC Ducktail has arrived without emblem.
2. 3-D carbon has shipped out quarter window louver's. (I decided to go this route as no company including JMS engineering has put out a scoop that I like)
3. Scott Drake 1968 Shelby lettering for Ducktail has arrived.
4. Hallibrand wheels (satin finish) size 18x9", have been ordered. The center grey part's of wheel will be powdercoated black. Spinner's also ordered.
5. Appointment has been made with custom paint shop, Car will be painted Hot- Rod Flat Black with Gloss White racing stripes the same deminsion's I have now.
6. Exhaust will be dumped out right in front of the back tires on the side's (2 1/2" Dia.)
7. CDC aggresive chin spoiler has been ordered.
8. Steeda race motor mount's have been installed.
9. BMR Panhardbar, Panhard bar suport, and shock tower brace (all powder coated red, same as my LCA's) have been ordered.
10. Headlight cover's and fog's will be blacked out.
This work will take place through April and May, I will post Pic's as progress is made. I just wanted to give you guy's an outline and see if anyone has any idea's for me.
Also I wanted to thank Future49er24 for his chop help. He helped my see some of these ideas in "Black & White". 
I will keep my car and go after the Ford "GT 500" on the track.....

Actually yes I do! I'm work'n on it right now. I have the ducktail installed and the 3-D Carbon louver's installed. I'm washing it right now, it's filthy.... :bang: One problem is I'm getting very aggrevated at the paint shop's out here... I can't get a quote for less than 6,000 dollar's..... I would expect to mabey pay that for a super shiny show car paint job, but not what I'm look'n for. If I can't get the job done for around 3k I guess it will be staying like it is. I painted the louver's flat black to help get idea's for the car. It actualy look's good with the gloss black...I'll try to get some Pic's tomorrow. I need to finish the stripe's over the ducktail if I can't find a painter. As for the rest I'm still waiting on part's. :bang:

That would be cool Tony! It seem's everone out here who paint's has a pre-modona complex... :bang: I could also just have someone spray the car with dupont hot rod flat black and have my vinyl guy re-stripe it. He did great the last time and it may be a little more cost effective. Thank's Tony!
