We made a little more progress today. We got a guy to come out and put the R/T stripe on for us.

Now the next step is to get a headliner made for it. We are taking it to a guy next Sunday for that. It's almost done! I'm getting really excited about actually driving it instead of looking at it.

Here are some pics for you all to enjoy.

Looking great!

Did he install the stripe dry? or with soapy water?  I prefer the dry method myself.

He installed it dry. He said only amateurs use water. :lol:

I have never seen a person put the decals on dry. I just assumed you had to use water.

He was fast too. It only took him about 30 minutes.

If I could ever find a nice day to take it someone to get a good pic I will. The weather is so sporadic around here. Plus I am only home on the weekends, so that makes it a little harder.

Haha. Thanks.

I probably wouldn't have picked that color if you hadn't painted your car that color. It was what gave me the inspiration.
