Thank you everyone for the kind words!

Now, I would like some opinions on how I should handle the car number. With the PRC, my race number is "3".

Here is what the PRC rules say in regards to numbers:

Numbers shall be at least 8 inches high with 1-1/2 to 2 inch strokes on the sides and front and 4 inches high with a 1-inch stroke on the rear.

I am leaning toward using black for the car number since the splitter and the wing are painted black. I could go red or blue as well.

Should the number be in some kind of "roundel" or rectangular frame? I am leaning toward using the yellow of the car as the background and foregoing the roundel or the more modern rectangular frame.

What do you guys think?

Thanks,

Scott

Probably black just to keep it cleaner. Too many colours make it look too busy and distract from the car overall IMHO.

In the making, more-or-less, since 1994! Too bad you took that two wheeler detour.

Nice. How about some more pictures of the int and other areas? Looks like your builder might have good ideas for things.

Yah, but Mike be honest - you are biased. Looking forward to seeing you at SP. I'm planning to finish before you instead of right behind.

What about a solid black roundel with a yellow number?
