Thanks all

Cactus - Thanks! Yes, I drove it almost every day for a month after finishing the car and before flying back to the East coast. Right now it's sitting at our shop in Seattle

951/944guy - I'm not sure what he charges.. but I want to say a couple hundred. Takes an entire afternoon, and he uses some very expensive equipment. The results are always amazing with Mike, he does fantastic work.

curve lover - I thought I had an in with Excellence, but it didn't pan out. I don't know anyone over there and they take forever to get a car featured. It will be featured in an online mag called canibeat soon.

RDS928S - chose the lobster plate because I just think it looks good.. although I wish I had done the Loon plate and gotten "tail".. so it would read "duck tail", with the picture of the Loon being the "duck". Maine is a special place.. I grew up in the Yarmouth and Bath area.. I vacation in Small Point and Arrowsic during the summer, which is where I'm at right now.

Thatcher - You know I love the car but there is a couple good things about it (if it gets out of Seattle).

1. There really should not be 2 silver ducktails in one city
2. When I get that same interior it will be just as cool but only because you no longer have it

Where did you source the duck tail from. Is it from the usual suspects - Getty or MA Shaw. I'm looking to put one on my 4S.

I got my *** kicked one summer in Main. Navy SERE school by NAS Brunswick. Dropped off in the woods for a week with nothing.

Great photography but your car would look good if the pics were taken with a Polaroid! Beautiful.

Incredible photos. If the photography doesn't sell the car . . . you need a bigger wing.
