[/quot e well bubbles are different.I know going in that not everyone will like what I do with it,but for the people that like the old school 70's paint.I think they will like it.I started this project off with full intentions of doing a day 2 car and I am sticking to it.I like flake,candy,& crazy paint.This car had a candy blue flake grill,& taillight panel, &smoked blue flames back then so it is only fitting. Thanks for your honesty.

Not a fan of the bubbles, but it does look more 70 super stock style with those. Reminds me of the Wonder Bread Funny Car. But I gotta ask, how do you get all of those pictures strung together??? LOL Everytime I try to attach a picture, I am told it is too BIG. No way is my one picture is as big as all of these together. But again, I like your work so far. Can't wait to see it finished. GOOD LUCK http://i823.photobucket.com/albums/zz160/FabBakers/70%20cuda/V__8CF6.jpg[/image] [image]http://i823.photobucket.com/albums/zz160/FabBakers/70%20cuda/WP_003567.jpg[/image] [image]http://i823.photobucket.com/albums/zz160/FabBakers/70%20cuda/WP_003568.jpg[/image] [image]http://i823.photobucket.com/albums/zz160/FabBakers/70%20cuda/WP_003572.jpg[/image] [image]http://i823.photobucket.com/albums/zz160/FabBakers/70%20cuda/WP_003571.jpg[/image] Old Geezer Racing

Bobby DeArmond made the first uncorected (non-altitude factored) 9-second Stock Eliminator run at Mission Raceway in Canada in 2001. I know Joe Aluise made a 9 second corrected pass in Boise earlier that year.
