Painting a new SS/GT G5 (Rich South)

The car is beautiful and nicely done. But, I have to agree with Randal and Fred on this. I to thought it was a comp car! I thought there had to be a resemblance of stock frame rails in the front? I know relocated for the engine and thus requires the aftermarket strut and tubular A-frame. But, it is a complete round tube chassis from front to rear!! If that is a rule that has been going on for years than I am sorry, I will stand corrected, we race a "old" super stocker that is not even allowed tubular a-frames. I know you choose your weapon but there is no compairison with these front wheel drive conversions. With that being said it is just my thoughts on this. I remember a couple yrs ago when we brought my fathers new "old" car out we have not even put the class numbers and letters on the windows yet, (they were in the front seat). We caught it in the tech lanes because of the letters!! They told us we better not use shoe polish for the lettering??? But, the new mustang comp car rolled right buy with show polish for lettering?? Shows how "off" tech can be..
