Hi,
I like the colour - was it one of their pre-mixed colours you did you get them to do a custom mix for you? What did you use for the white on the roof?
I'd say one of the decals on a white background would contrast nicely with the red - watch out for the red bleeding through though!
Looking forward to seeing more.
Cheers,

JIm..... it's one of their custom mix colours I bought a while back, to do Jim Clarks NASCAR Galaxie with. Ruby Red.
The white on the roof is done with Zero Paints Ultra Briilant White. (Standard Paint)

Hi,
When I said I thought the white would contrast nicely with the red I didn't think about it going well with the roof, Doh!
Keep up the good work!
Cheers,

The engine is almost finished. The original carb was a two piece rubbishy affair, so I replaced it. The filter still needs to be installed, but not until the the chassis, engine, fenders and body have been installed. This is so I can check for clearance beneath the hood. Attachments:

I installed the door cards and glass too. By leaving the door cards all in white, I have a neat white frame around the windows. Attachments:

Both ends were somewhat fiddly and took about two hours to complete. Attachments:
