It's all trial and error. Sometimes more error then trials but. When it's done you can say you did it!

Hi Jayson
Thanks, no I haven't decided on color yet keep going back and forth with White with Blue stripe and Blue on with White stripe.
But that only works well with the Shaker hood.
I haven't seen a paint scheme with the dual snorkel hood with stripes that works or that I like. solid colors Black or Red work well but are boring.

Trunk is in need to take pics of it and get the Trunk drop off in and get the Tail panel on it while Im off this week end and move on to the front.
