[Shift'n Gears]

Well... not sure if this will help or not. Probably just stir the pot a little more. Last year at the T/A Nationals John Schinella spoke for about an hour and took questions afterward. It was very informative and I learned a lot. The best part was that the presentation inculded early reditions of several different hood bird designs that they created.

I wanted to ask this same question as it comes up all the time and I have heard valid arguments for both cases.

While I didn't get to ask him while he was on stage, afterward I approached him one on one and asked the age old question " what color was the shaker on the white cars? Lucy blue or the stripe color?". Without hesitation he said it was the stripe color.

Since I have heard it "straight from the horses mouth" so to speak, I would have to accept John's intent from the design room. But personally I like the look of the lucy blue rather than the sea green myself . Hopefully I can find a Lucy blue Car and then it will be an easy choice.... the shaker will be white.
