Looks like I'm getting some more color on the car today!

Bumble Bee ??

That gold L78 is insane. As close to perfection as you can get. I'm sure your car will turn out just as choice as that benchmark!

More Updates... I can now say FINALLY, the paint is complete! The hood was the final piece to be painted and also kind of like the crown of the car, a very important piece of what I envisioned for years! As you all know this car is in a production body shop, NOT a restoration shop. This has both pros and cons. Luckily there are some very talented individuals working here, however nobody wanted to make the template for the stinger stripe. I was telling my dad about my the dilemma of finding someone to lay down the stripes. He just said, "No problem, I'll do it for you." Wow I mean I know this guy can do pretty much everything so what would make this any different. Possibly the only guy to ever stripe a stinger hood while wearing a suit . Pretty awesome memory for me

When it was all said and done, he asked how it looked.... it's freaking awesome! Every time I look at the hood I'll have the moment to think about this, and that's priceless.

Also got an email a few days back that Moser Engineering is offering a 12% off Black Friday discount so I went with another one of their complete 12 Bolt rears. Multi leaf perches, Wavetrac differential, 35 spline bolt in axles, Timken bearings, powder coated housing, 1350 U Joint pinion yoke, and 4.10 gears... I'll be using the stock drum brakes in the rear. I was going to go with a Mark Williams unit but it would be about $1000 more, I don't think this thing will get enough abuse to substantiate the difference in cost. I had good luck with Moser in the past.

Couple shots of the car in the sun. It still hasn't been sanded and polished!

Totally digging that hood, and love that your dad came over and striped it while wearing his suit. Very cool memory for both of you I am sure. Love the whole choice on the diff too.

Chuck,
Did you lay the black as single stage over the gold clear or did you clear over everything once the stinger was on?

Thanks

That hood looks awesome. That's a great memory for you. That Moser rear end should hold up very well for you.

Love it!
