Guys - Thanks for the comments.

The color is Indigo Blue with Titanium stripes. It was painted by Tony Stefan in CT. He said it was the third car in a row that he has painted Indigo Blue. I guess I'm neither original nor authentic, but I do love the combination.

The photos were taken by my wife and son. They both have a much better eye than me. The photos were taken near sunset with a Canon D40Z. I belive the settings were 1020 by 740 in a JPG format. To reduce the files for posting, I right click on the photos on my computer and choose the option that allows me to email the photos. Windows XP asks if you want to reduce the file to save space. I say yes, then save the reduced files to my hard drive. The size seems to be about right for posting. It is not elegant, but seems to work. It's kinda like counting cows by counting the number of legs and dividing by 4.

The car was delivered at the beginning of March. Much of it was completed by ERA, but we left just enough undone so that my son and I would have a nice project before he entered college in the fall. In a way, I hate to see the "build" end because it was fun, but I know the real fun is just beginning. Also, I understand that these cars are never "done".

I hope to make it to the next Houston meeting with the car. I'm trying to get it inspected, titled and registered within the next week. Also, safety wire is going on this weekend.

JWheaton - Very funny. BTW we used to live in Trumbull. Love that part of the country.

JWheaton and Chaplin - You may want to consider the hood treatment that I had done. I've attached a couple pictures. It really does look cool.



Thanks,
