I like that you are carrying the stripe around the bend to terminate in the door jamb instead of simply painting across the gap. Another subtle detail often missed.

The fade on the hockey stripe is really a nice touch. Thanks for sharing the guide coat trick, I think Ring Brothers showed something similar on their website. Little tips like that really help people out!

Thanks guys...the paint really came out nice...Heath really does an amazing job with a very delicate process.

Excellent work.

Would you share a few more pictures of the radiator / fan shroud / overflow or tank setup? Was that made in house or was it purchased?
