Seems Rick's car has been in a constant state of change since I first met him about 5 or 6 years ago. Heres how I remember it from Indy way back. Oh well, looks like its gonna be real purty.

hey Thanks guys

The roof where it met the 1/4's was cracked from not enuff cage in the car. Then I had a problem with the tires rubbing and they finally caught the 1/4 and ripped it up. So Bob worked a lil magic on the 1/4's so I have no more worries with the tires rubbing and put some more bars in the car to stiffen it up.

So it was over due for some new paint. Some of you saw the " Hillbilly Hot Rod " at the classic this spring. I was embarassed to bring it out with primer on the 1/4's but I really wanted to race it.

So anyway she will be looking good for PINKS in two weeks

Thanks Bondo

Car looks awesome man, I think the T/A stripe would look killer given your hood choice.

Man I would almost hate to put a stripe on that car, its so smoooooooth! if ya decide to do the stipe do the year correct one or the T/A. You've always had pretty good taste so I'm sure when its done it'll look and be right.

Rick,

Is that the same color blue or is it a little deeper Blue?

Not sure if the paint booth is making it look darker.

Looks close to what I want on my Dakota when it's finished.

Looks great!!

OK Rick.........
I gotta ask you to post the "photo history" of this car from the day you first brought it home. Do you have shots of it in every reincarnation??



Just for the record, I never get tired of looking at this car!!

Thats what color my car was supposed to be but the body shop dropped the ball and painted it viper GTS blue. You get lots and lots of free extra work done when you decide not to make them repaint a car LOL.

I liked the intense blue better but I liked getting the jams, underhood, and all the body color interior parts painted for free better than that .
