Paint Pics
I took this picture after the final paint had been completed. The ghost stripes are very subdued with the heavy reflection of the sky in the paint.
The stripes are a little more apparent in this picture. Also, you can see the wind wings attached to the sides of the windscreen, and the brake vent covers at the bottom.
In this pic you can see all the 'new bits', the rock guards on the back fender well, the wind wings, and the brake vents.
I have new tires on the way, a new license plate, and plans to get the soft top mounted. Stay tuned for more pics!

Finished paint
Well, last night Josh and Brandamonium came over last night and we corrected the ride height, and mounted the rollbars. I also did some touchup on the rollbars and cleaned up the engine bay. We sprayed the quickjacks with a silver paint since they were starting to rust.
It's really almost done now - only things left for 'completion' are mounting the windscreen, wind wings, rock guard, brake vent screens, lubricating the suspension and mounting the soft top.
It looks great - Josh did a super job w/ the paint, I'll post up some pics the next day the sun comes out.
