First, I would like to thank my lovely wife for putting up having to be a garage widow and for being so understanding when the charge bill arrived every month. Honey, I love you! :winkiss:
Second, I would like to thank everyone on this forum. Without it, I would probably only be half way through the build. Come to think of it, I could have been finished too if it wasn't for all the neat mods this place has to offer. Of course I would also like to thank the great vendors for their expertise and great products.
Wow. That is one heck of a ride. Your trans tunnel is a class act, wonderful choice of color and stripe. You have shinny in just the right places. good mix of classic and modern looks. It looks like you put a LOT of time in planning, and it is quite obvious you did not settle for second best.
Rides like that are the best argument to purchase a Factory Five.
Wow! That is a great looking car. If I had an understanding wife, Im sure I'd be a lot closer to being done than I am. Truth be told, I'm a lot closer to the beginning than to the end. Oh, well. At least I still have it. Congrats. You've done a great job, and I really dig the stripes and dash. You deserve to be VERY proud of that car.
Gentlemen, (and I use that term in the highest regard) I really appreciate the kind words. You have no idea how much that means to me considering the excellent machinery/artwork that have passed through these threads.
jtart; yes it is Ford Merlot metallic but I asked da Bat to throw in a little extra gold flake to make it pop in the sun and boy does it.

Dan, It really turn out great. The color choice is spot on and every detail looks like it was well thought out and executed. Job well done buddy. Frank
Beautiful, beautiful. I really like the dash and the color w/ ghost stripes. And, you've got it done just in time to drive! (translation: our 100+ degree days are nearly over and nine months of perfect roadster weather is starting soon.) I hope to see it soon.
