          Yes, most definitely deserved. Are you planning on lowering the car any? THat would really cap it off nicely.

            Thanks again guys. I am in the process of dropping it now. I just have so much other things I am doing, that its taking awhile.

              I am thinking a switch to the "dark side" is in order while its stuck in the garage. A quick n dirty coat of satin black would be more fitting. With a nickname like HaVic it needs to look sinister, not like a prom night virgin.

                ah... but the white makes for more of a shock when the hoon comes out. if it's all flat black, it's almost expected.

                  True, but I have been painting my hot rods flat black since '93-'94. Its almost my trademark

                    but it would be so nice to have a secondary nickname "White Lightning"

                        I sort of actually like the matte black idea and calling it HaVic! Sounds bad ass!

                          "White Lighting" was its project name for a couple years on The Hub Garage. It may get a total tear down this winter; paint the body gunmetal grey, and smooth n paint everything else. SO the black would be one less layer of paint to scrub off. But I cannot help but think that the black would look nasty, tough, and it would give me a slight idea how a sliver/grey might look.

                              Gunmetal grey would look awesome. I'm just burnt out on the flat black. EVERY wannabe ricer/racer/hot-rod around here is painted flat black. Which, being in Texas... and summer coming up... and most the time these fools don't have working AC... they' probably sweat buckets and their seats probably smell like baked ass. bah

                                That's one of the biggest reasons I haven't done it before. I like being a bit different, and when I first started doing it, it was semi-unique. Now everybody and their mother does it.
