I also like the way you blacked out front of core support.
Thanks for noticing that. It was tricky to go back in and paint it black in the key areas with everything assembled. I actually uses a rattle can spray truck bedliner and put four coats on after a healthy scotch brite of the surface to paint black. I figure that will stand up to hosing bugs off going forward...and it creates a perfect shade of black and some texture that helps a deep shadow.

I thought the red was the way to go from the start - I spent COUNTLESS hours welding and smoothing the core support, aprons, firewall...etc, and felt it deserved the glorious outer paint. But...it was a mistake in the grille area.
