    My stripe is satin, yes they are very good to deal with, I did leave them positive feedback on ebay. I sent them the tracing of what I wanted and it was done and in my hands a week later, awesome!!

    More than likely the Detroit build would weigh at least a thousand pounds more than this car!!!!!! :biglaugh:

    I really dig the details too. For guys like us.. this car would have us looking around for at least a half hour straight at any car show. And I would also make my way back around to see it at least one more time.

    Excellent job at making everything flow and work together as if it was originally designed this way. Hats off. WAAAYYYY off.

    thanks guys, I did spend a LONG time on the details, as I too am a detail oriented person. The details really set a car off.

    Dave, your car looks awesome!!!! I like the look of the side mirrors moved forward. What power brake booster did you use?
