I believe there was a deal made on the paint-job. I think it had to be done before a certain time, which only allowed for the chop to get done before the paint deadline would pass. So the car was painted without a few of the other planned custom touches, and the car was enjoyed for some time before the taillights were then done. I think Darren plans a few more touches later one. Then possibly a complete new paint-job if needed.
I had a small part in the taillights as well.
After discussing it with Darren at the 2015 Old Style Weekend in Sweden I did this visual to show what we had talked about.
Enjoy the beauty of Customizing
