Always love this ride getting (digital) ink. Is Kevin going to paint it? Also, loved the way he handled the troll in the comments. Like a boss!

Not sure who edited that last post of his, but it was a rambling POS. Never understood Trolling boards, just a giant waste of time.

Yes, the interior, underside and compartments will get painted with epoxy or something. Outside might just get prepped and wrapped, not sure at the moment. Nothing happening until the winter most likely.

Nice story.

Maybe slap a decal somewhere saying "Paint is overrated".

There are always trolls, idiots, and jealous people any/every where. THEY can't do it, so they cry about someone else who IS doing it. You've done well, and great things are coming. Best of luck. up

With the capability of this car and its driver, it will get A TON of troll talk im sure. So what, Mopar's are the "Brand most Banned" for a reason....I bet the Hellcat is already almost un-insurable.

Curious thing about the troll, coloradokid by his admission, is that if he had truly been following the hillclimb lately, he'd know that Jess Neal's Cuda won its division a few years ago and was in the top five several years prior. Since Jess' departure, Mustangs have scored the top spots in the vintage class and they have all sorts of messed up front geometry by comparison.
