Blake is not giving credit where credit is due: that fabulous engineer Indy GT designed and directed the wrap job.

When Bill finally logs in here and reads your 'tribute to his craftsmanship', I'm sure he'll be happy to provide you similar assistance.

Keep on making friends, one day you'll take delivery and the accrued paybacks will probably be beyond your wildest imagination. :lol

Blake - I will talk to Bubba Wilks . He did not do an excellent job as far as I can see from your pictures.
He came highly recommend by my High end custom car painter, Earle Scheibe.

Andy, you forgot to mention that this was on clearance sale at J.C. Whitney.

Bowen Ford had a couple of items for me at the party. He had a nice plaque made for Renee and me and gave me a hard cover "The Story of Ford Performance" book.

New Baby setting next to his 12 year brother. They play so good together. What a sight!

Had a small addition to the car put on today. Stole the idea from StormCat but changed it up a little. Will have 2 coats of clear coat on this section of the door installed next week. Turned out really nice.

Looks great with the dark background. Very appropriate! Congrats!

Well I got good news and bad news. GOOD NEWS. Got the car back with clear bra completed and it turned out amazing. Just like it is supposed to be, can’t even tell it’s on the car. Drove it home from Indy, couple trips around town and a fill up at the gas pump. This all happened Wednesday and Friday, now have 260 miles on the car. What a great car, as before 7 cars pulled into the gas station and ask if they could take photos.
BAD NEWS. There was a 1” snow predicted and the state salted all the major highways Friday afternoon. That equates to no more driving unless I haul south and after watching the weather this morning I would need to go way south. So it is going into hibernation for a few months.
Bad lighting but here are a couple of outside photos.

Great pics Blake. Sorry about the weather. Trust me, you would have to go WAAY south to find good weather this weekend. After weeks of mid eighties weather we have rain and high of 61 way down here in Naples. It’s supposed to drop to 51 overnight tonight. Pensacola is below freezing up north!

Snowing here in N. Va. Calling for up to 5 inches, but the roads haven't been cold enough for it to stick. Of course the VDoT sales all the roads, so no driving the GT until that washes off.
