  11. Marcus, I love that type of striping. My favorite. I am going to use that style on my coupe. I think the scallops may be too much. Less is more on this beauty of yours. Let the car speak for itself. Just my first impression. I would say it would start getting too busy if you added the scallops. Your almost there and I like it. I gotta keep up my pace so I can catch up to you. Can you take a better picture of the louvers. I wanna see how he approached them. I have a lotta louvers to have striped.

    The striping on the cowl vent looks particularly clever and attractive.

    Damn man, that striping is perfect. I think that was the final touch on your blue diamond there.

    every decision about this car so far has been the right one. i had no doubt you'd make the right one about the scallops too.

    the belt line striping is amazing. love the car, marcus. what a journey to watch!

    spent a small fuckin fortune on a radiator thru Brassworks, found two leaks this morning! They said I have to pull it out ,send it back and have them repair it..Fuck! Salesman said" oh its no big deal, not the end of the World"..WTF?! Then you come over here and pull the cocksucker out! I spent $1000 on a radiator, I shouldnt have any issues! Bullshit!

    Can't say as I blame you. I think most of us would have a dirty ass about that... Start a thread about the way you have been treated by Brassworks then E-mail the salesman a link to it. That might get his attention. Your car is amazing, keep up the good work!
