It is true that Nathan is as much artist as he is talented body man and painter.

Like all the members of the V8TV crew, he is also very customer focused. He kept asking if the stripes were to my satisfaction while he was laying them out.

To be honest, we had Dan's awesome rendering to go from but I still had to have Nathan switch some things back and forth in order to actually make my mind up. He never once complained, even when we ended up going back to something he had already done.

Kevin also helped with a lot of good, experience based suggestions on how to lay out the stripes so our eyes would not play tricks on us or make them look out of place.

That came out great... I was think it would look cool with the yellow pin stripe too.

It's so cool how the clear coat just makes paint pop. Fantastic job on laying out the stripes, they are perfect!!!!!

Thanks for all the positive feedback, the car really looks sharp. Lou eluded to the stripe process which was challenging at times. First, it was late in the day when we started the stripes. Second, it was hot as blazes. Third, the hockey stripe on a Camaro is a pain in the a** on both ends... plus the middle! The door point is tricky, the taper is crucial, and the bend at the nose has to look right or it all looks goofy. Nathan and Lou stuck it out and made sure it was what Lou wanted, and it ended up being early AM by the time they were sprayed. Every step builds on the previous, and you don't want to compromise at this stage. The good thing is that the persistence paid off, and everyone is happy with the result. Thanks to Nathan and Lou for working together on this!

It's been a big week at the V8 Speed & Resto Shop... got the stripes & clear sprayed, plus the first round of cutting and buffing. Big assembly thrash starts Monday. Getting closer!

BTW, our Facebook page has some updates as well.

Thanks Steve, I'm a huge fan of your Riv project! When can we do a video shoot with that one?
