We have factory specifications for the stripes and he laid them all out by hand. Plus I bought a stripe kit which we didn’t use, but it helped for reference.

I can’t wait to see it tomorrow am with clear on them 🙂

Thanks… Yea, Lenny is finishing up on the motor and it may get dropped in this Saturday. Tranny follows right after. Bob was burying it in clear tonight and is going to finish assembly and wet sand and buff it.

Then some basic details and it comes home and gets final assembly. 🙂

Hehe, I’ll have to set some type of visiting hours for it 🙂

I am planning on having it in the World of Wheels show at the Buffalo Convention Center in March also. Hopefully I get to drive it a bit before that. Since when I bring it to that, it will probably be out my garage, down the driveway, and onto an enclosed trailer ☹

Uploaded more pics today. Since UB was closed, I got to do some assembly. Power was out at the shop since Friday so work was at a stand still until today.
