Took a joyride this morning to run the gas down.  She poses nicely at White Cemetery on Cuba Road, a haunted road allegedly.
"Low she sits on five spoke wheels
Small block eight so live she feels
There she's parked beside the curb
Engine revving to disturb
She's the princess from his past
Red paint gold stripes damned she's fast"

It is a handsome thunderous car. Enough to raise the dead.

Yes indeed.  I looked at some of the headstones and some where Civil War era burials. I wondered what they would say if they could see the world today if but for a few minutes.  See cars, planes and so on.  See the Boss 302 parked over their eternal resting place.  It would be a totally alien experience for them.

Incidentally, I am reaching a dangerous cross-road regarding the stripes.  These stripes are clearly not the original stripes on this Laguna Seca though Ford should have offered red like they did on the black 2012s.  In any event, the NOS stripes are becoming increasingly difficult to find first off and second, they are getting to an age where they eventually won't adhere anymore if I decided to change the stripes back to original.  The lettering on Boss is wrong.  The font is called "Eurostile_ according to my research, the "S' letters being thinner at the bottom and top.  Hey, I'm starting to be a bit like Bob Gaines et al.  Lol.  Yeah, right.  Not even close.  But I try.  So keep the red or jettison in favor of the original reflective silver tape?

I always thought red on black makes it look like a Pentecostal?

Actually come to think of it that would look pretty wild. And on a Laguna no less. It already confuses those who know these cars.

I don't think that you can improve upon the combination. I'm not sure why the combination was never offered on the newer cars? Maybe a copyright thing with Hertz?

I don't know why you would want to go with a roll of Mylar stripes? I think it is much easier to paint them on. Certainly the paint formula for the Hertz gold is a known thing. The only decision to make there would be the size of the stripes. I'd go with the classic dimensions. Twin 10", tapered, 2" spacing in between.
