Bout time you got rid of that "naked look" 
Car looks real nice and will be quicker now with the weight loss and better aerodynamics with nice new shiny smooth paint
See ya at a track soon

So you dropped nearly 70 pounds just from stripping the old paint ?
If someone had told me that I could pick up nearly a tenth just from a paint job................I'd have been on the phone to Earl Scheib the next morning.
The paint on my Dart is plenty thick.
I seem to recall reading something about airlines not springing for fancy paint on their aircraft for this very reason.
But that could have just been the excuse they gave to not pay for paint at all.
