Thanks for the compliments gents. This was a car that I've wanted to have for a very long time & I'm still pinching myself.
Jason - I had almost come to terms with the red paint & used Dario Franchitti's car for some inspiration. Once we started to remove paint from so many different areas, I knew that a repaint in my preferred color wouldn't be a huge deal. As it happened, Guards Red paint is one of the most expensive due to the pigments required - Slate Grey is the cheepest. No brainer....
Rudy - nice to hear from you! Hope my C4S is treating you well? Yes - moved to another house on the same chain of lakes / Huron River system - 15 minutes from DTAA. It's a great house with room for an additional 40x30 garage.... Looking forward to building it over the winter.

huge improvement over where you started. like you, i'd love to add a longnose hot rod to the existing cars on hand. your final outcome is gorgeous and the slate grey is perfect with the RSRs.

A manly color for sure. I wasn't sure where this thread was going and liked the original car in red. But when the additional pics started enfolding the transformation is awesome. I'd kill to own that car!
