Glad to see it's silver, it will blend right in with all my decals...

 

OK, word is that the paint shop is done. I had new wing uprights fabricated to comply with a rule change. Now I do the detail work and reassemble it. And that hood goes away.

 

Glad to see it's coming along nicely Frank. When does your season start in the NE?

Here is Socal I've already run a race weekend and have another one this upcoming weekend with a plain white car with magnetic numbers. My car was painted, but it has to cure for a month before I can stick vinyl on it hence the reluctancy to post pics until the final product is done. I just got the proofs from the vinyl shop and it looks really good on simulated computer pics!! I'll post in about 10 days!

 

You're supposed to wait to apply graphics? We'll see about that.
I'm hoping to make the first race for us, at Lime Rock in April.
But, it will be without any prior testing, so just to shake it down, which is OK because I often skip that event altogether anyway.
I ordered my graphics today.

 

if its a one stage point (no clear coat) yes, you typically wait about a month for the paint to fully cure otherwise if you apply the graphics and needs to move them before they set it takes the paint right off.

 

this shot just came up on FB.
This project is moving again.

 

Frank, it looks good, but get on it already! Your thread inspired me to start down this road, and the car is done and was on the racetrack a week ago!





The trip down South is alway amusing - passed on the the "Drive Thur"

 

Wow, looks great, Sterl! Nice job!

 

This car is almost ready to roll. Graphics and a few details left.
Here's a sneak preview.

 

Is that color WV2 from the nissan range?

 

I think it is, in fact. How can you tell that?

 

Well, if I am indeed correct, its because I spent so much time finding the perfect silver for my own car, which I personally found to be this color code.

 

I think its a beautiful color. It looks different on every car in slight ways.

 

It does look great, I took it from a Nissan race car I saw in Grassroots. Combined with some matte gunmetal panels, and some red highlights, my car is looking "Intimidating", according to my kids.

 

Is it not Stone Grey Metallic? Looks very similar to my old P-Car's colour. Either way I give it a thumbs up Frank!
