That's a tough call Mills... I can see and justify both sides of the question.

Dusold left his car rough for years as he was developing the underpinnings on it...and paid the price in D&E points at every event. Only when he had the rest of it dialed in did he concentrate on making it look pretty.

Personally, I'd only do to your car what you want for YOU. If you'd like to have it look better when you do track days at home...I'd say wrap it up now. If you don't really care about that...I'd leave it as is and put your efforts (and cash) into further development and enjoyment of the car.

As many as possible and yes! Let me know if there is anything I can do to assist.

Paint or wrap? I've heard you have something in mind for a wrap and I like it. My personal oppinion is that it would be a great way to represent and say thank you. After all.....it is what allows us to do that which we love.

I had some cool stuff in mind, but nothing seems like it's going to happen. Too bad, it would have been cool. I bought tickets for the Margaritaville dinner for me and my boys hope to see you there.

The car will be on Optima row for SEMA, come by and check it out!

I haven't posted in a while guys. I'm going to try and see if I can make my pictures in this thread viewable again. I'm getting ramped up to make a couple of frames this summer and there is a lot of info in this thread I'd like to bring back. Plus some new pictures of the car! It's no longer ratty and beat up! Stay tuned!
