Well, I figured I'd give you guys an update on how my car is going... I spent some time cruising it, and decided it was time for paint. This was my first time doing paint by myself. It came out alright I think... I made the mistake of laying the tape stripes down first and forgot to paint the trunk jams. I will spray those and my hood when I get my hemi hood scoop in.

Hope you guys enjoy!

Can you post some pictures of the shaved drip rails? Also, Are you using or going to use the original type weatherstripping that mounts to the underside of the drip rail for the top of the door windows?
 
Love the color but please, for the love of God, paint that radiator black before you install the grill
 
The wheels, color and stance are dead on...that red engine compartment though
