    I've seen your Stallion that has small bumpers and wondered how you did the paint across the rear valance since the lower black stopped at the old big bumper. I'm looking at doing a 2 tone paint scheme like this but I wasn't sure how it would look from the rear with the valance and around the taillights painted black. Got any pics of that sweet car from the back??
    Thanks!!

    Here is a pic,, just painted the rear valance black as you can see. What you really cant see is the later cars with big gas tanks hang down lower than the valance, with my car it blends cause they are both black. Something you may consider before deciding on colors. Thanks for the nice comment on my car.

    Thanks for the pic Dan! I see now how you ran the black across the valance. I had thought of actually running the bottom stripe lower but I think it would end up making the valance 2 different colors. Sigh, back to the drawing board!!

    I only ask that you forgive 71Gold and jncastell for peeking into your personal space.

    With all due respect to everyone else here, Dan, you have the nicest looking damn car that ever was and will ever be! Every time I see a different picture of it I want to drool. If I had half a brain I'd paint mine to match yours.

    Thats exactly why I wanted to see how the back was! I think this combo with the small bumpers looks great! I want to be different though and use a dark purple top and bottom with a white or silver middle on mine. It isn't a true Stallion so I want to modify it to fit my car by changing the color and pattern a little to make it unique!!
