Thats what pays for my toys as well Im a chef. This is about its 5th paint job right now. The guy doing my painting now is amazing I wish i would have found him at the begining. it took him one weekend to do the hood mural and 2 weekends to kick the flames up and the rear airbrushing. I dont think you want to trade i bet I have more miles then you lol. you dont want it. trust me.

I use to keep it in the snow when I first got it Then I bought a crappy pole/tarp carport (dont do it!!) After 3 foot of snow, It fell and a pole snapped in two one part went threw the glass top and one into the hood. OUCH!!
2nd paintjob= I got the first layer of flames done.

3rd paintjob= I kissed a deer and he gave her a small beard

after they painted the bumper I relized it isnt the same as the old lay-out. took it to the wrong shop everyone said how great and well known these guys were for painting vettes ha just a bunch of rednecks if you ask me. we learn from our mistakes.
I painted my hoodliner awhile ago it it was getting all fuzzy and not so nice as it use to be and right up the street from my moms I kept seeing this guys airbrush art hanging on a barn so one day I stopped and talked to him. a week later
4th paint job= custom hood mural= 5oo bucks YES!!!

That's nice! I'm going to add Red neons to my side cove vents and a white LED to light up my rear vanity plate thinga ma bob... I was toying with the idea (yours) of somehow lighting up those rear screens with Red somehow (my interior is ALL red now)... where did you install the 3" tubes?

I like that alot it gives the guys who work on it something to look at when its up on the lift. I have to clean that mirror for shows now ahh I hate cleaning glass/windows.
