So....this one really stood out in the shop because as you moved around, it.... it.... will change color and shadows tones. The body seemed to flex and move...like it was alive! Very different!.....So......how much was the paint? I'm sure I can't afford it ......but have to ask.... I know I'm going to be stuck in gel coat for a long time. mike

Jack, Thanks for the pics, of course you know you're making the wait harder. Please tell me these photos are a few weeks old, this car is supposed to be nearing completion. 289ERAkit, the color came from a Saleen Ford Focus that was at the local dealership. I can't remember the code but I think its just a standard Ford color. If you want I can get the code again. The paint was done by by ERAs painter Tony. The cost was $5300.00 which included the centers of the wheels painted black. I am really looking forward to seeing it in person.

Sorry, they were taken Friday AM. Talk to Peter and see where you are in the schedule. And then keep calling. I will send more pictures as I seem to be there once a week. It is really beautiful color combo.

Well, thanks again for the photos. Its a huge lift to actually see it and I suppose the longer it takes.... the easier it is to afford.
