I thought I would give you an update on the Viper Red 65 Fastback that we finished in 2007 and is in the tech manual. Saturday was the Mustang Club of Tampa's 29th annual car show. We had 272 cars and Paul's 65 Fastback was the Sponsors pick for best of show. He also got a trophy for best in class. He has driven it to a lot of shows the last couple of years and always gets a trophy. After three years the paint still looks wet.

This is what we started with

Saturday Paul went to the NMRA race and car show in Bradenton and took home two trophies with over 150 cars entered in the show. This is not a trailer queen. It was painted July 2007 and it looks like it was just painted and still gets awards. Hard to beat that SPI paint and clear!!







 
Nice! I saw this car 2years ago at the nmra Bradenton! The paint finish caught my eye!
