Hi guys, Attached are some photos that were shot today in the Detroit area, where my GT-350 clone has just emerged from the paint booth. I haven't seen it yet, but my friend Gary (a lurker on this forum as well) reports that the paint job is simply phenomenal! Note the goof on the side stripes though! GT500 stripes were packaged in a GT350 box and nobody caught it until too late! So that will obviously have to be corrected. The area under the brake cooling scoops has to be painted satin black also. Here's a question though: The front edge of the (original Shelby) brake scoops doesn't quite reach the front edge of the quarter panel. They are probably about 1/16th of an inch short. So. Is that entire portion of the body painted black, up to the body line where the outside of the quarter panel meets the door jamb, or should there be a 1/16th inch vertical red strip on the quarter panel before where the black starts, so that the black region lines up with the front edge of the scoop? Thanks! Mike
