Looks awesome James! Good work. Quick question...I have seen people tape off where you did, on the cowl by the lip...why do people tape off there?? Is it so there isnt a paint "seam" on the top of the cowl?

yea, thats it, its an easy place to mask off to, so whenever and whoever does the body work they can mask from that point on down...

Looks good. The sad part is you'll need to scratch about half dozen spots back to bare metal for chassis grounds. I call it the devil in the details.
