Don, welcome and nice color choice! ;-) At least I know now what my car would look like without the stripes.
For the record everyone, our color red (the SPF red, Monza Red, Lazer Red, etc.) is very much a "fire engine red", a retina burning red. I have taken countless photos and many do end up coming out with an orange tinge to them. FYI.

P.S. Don, I'm an ex-Corvette/Chevy guy myself. Fords are fast, too. You just have to get used to the distributor being on the opposite end of the block.
