That looks awsome!! 8) 8) 8)  It's always nice to see someone make an idea real.  Who made the decals for you Hitman?

Thanks for the comments guys.  I guy out of Cincinatti made the decals for me.  Came out nice.  Yes, the thought of the blacked out windows has crossed my mind alot and could be in the near future.

Very nice, black is an evil colour for showing imperfections.
Did you do the prep etc yourself? Solvent based paint? I take it, the car was straight to start with?

Brett the car looks great. I got to see it today at the NAT's and took a couple pic's of the car. I talked with so many people today at the NAT's and I even picked a new rear bumper cover for my 77. I had such a blast I am thinking of going back on Sunday. Such nice people just walking around looking at the cars. I know some of them were jealous they did not own one of these great classis's. I am so hook on these cars now. Great decision to get one.

Again, great looking car Brett. Well done. One of the best I saw today.

Go to the www.78TA.com home page. The car at the top of the page is what it looked like before the new colors.

It will also be a guest star of a show on The Travel Channel this Monday. (Also before the new colors.) You can find details on this here - http://www.78ta.com/smf/index.php?topic=2306.0 ;)

Needless to say, Brett's work is in a league of it's own. That's why he is who he is. 8)
