    the stripe was a color the painter put together,originally going to go with silver stripes, but we ended up going with blue but it has a lot of silver fleck in it.

    Roadster looks great! Hopefully you can enjoy some seat time, before mother nature sends it off to hibernate.

    Especially nice to see a donor build again. I can appreciate all the extra work that goes into it, having done one myself.

    Congratulations on finishing up a great looking build; she looks great!

    Like others, I like the color as well as the interior touches. You did a really nice job.

    I hope the weather stays mild for a bit longer so you can enjoy her before the MN winter takes hold!

    Congratulations again!

    Regards,

    Steve
