I'm tempted to vote for Hop just for the picture. But, for me it comes down to a choice between Drift's and King's (although I'd love to vote for myself ;) ). It seems pretty close to me but I'm going for King's StingRay

LOL - that is one benefit of being a sucky painter I guess.  The dilema of voting for myself, or even worse, getting caught at it, doesn't enter into the equation.

I sorta figured that was the unspoken rule...don't vote for yourself. :)

Lots of good work to pick from on this one, especially considering the focus of MInc is running cars, not painting them. :)

It's one of those rules like "Don't bunt on a pitcher that has a no hitter going."

I'm partial to Hekalite's Challenger.  Those cars look mean and the flames make me scared. 

Thanks for the votes guys, its good to be bangin doors for the #1 spot in something around here.

I'm pulling out a ringer for my GS, paint comp or not its gonna be a wicked ride.  I found a sketch of a Corvette logo that was drawn on a napkin in LeMans and then later applied to the race car.  Its good to have deep resources.

I went for King's Stingray...  Its just too purdy.  I was really tempted to pick Heck's Challenger, because that picture is awesome and by far the most realistic, but the Vette swayed me with its color.

I was California dreamin, on such a winters day.  I mean fall day, well not the Fall Guy either.  Aw heck, I don't know why I swallowed the fly. 

I just like the way it looked on the car.  Plus the paint on the original car was fairly simple so I applied the KISS philosophy.
