[Bob-STL]

I received pictures from Da Bat for my coupe. Here it is in primer, or as he calls it "The Great White Shark" look!

Then there is this taped for stripes. Again, the Bat tried to convince me we were doing "Lime Stipes". (Actually, lime (on silver would look great IMO. My sons agreed)

Then we have the real color, Viper GTS Blue (PBE) with Artic White. (Believe it or not, this was the hardest choice on the whole build. So, I let my family choose the color. I figured I didn't know what the heck I was doing when it came to colors.)

And then there are the doors and vents.

I really really like this color.

As always Da Bat does good! Looks terrific Bob!

[Jacob McCrea]

Excellent!

How were the heat extractors on the hood done? I would guess they are an off-the-shelf product that was recessed into the hood, then smoothed over with a dura-glass type product, then filler.
