i usualy dont likfe 4 eye birds.. but i'd be an idiot not to appreciate your work. the car isnt just a stock 4 eye; if you get what im saying. plus i like watching 4 eyes race more than a aero headlight style.

I hear you on that, I think the 4 eye's look better with skinnies up front and fats on the back.

what size hood is that? nice work on the painting.

3" dominator hood the hood came in pretty bad shape but the owner has incredible customer service and he did everything to make me happy, other then that it has a finished bottom and that was my only choice. The price was high but all and all I was very happy with the way it turned out after all MY hard work.lol

Nice. I really like it. That's giving me a good idea of what my color will look like when it's finally on all of the car.

Good work, I can only imagine it must be some sort of advantage to be able to paint pieces yourself.

I got a question for you 347thunder, whats your process with getting results like that? What I mean is how would a handy guy like myself take on a paint project like your doing and pull it off with good results.

I would love to paint my car myself, I wouldn't mind spending the money on quality tools etc.. where do you suggest I get started?
