Just read your build thread again Skip...I know the struggle that you've had to go through to get to this point...it was no easy task..but you really put a great roadster together..a beefy one at that..lol..I'm really stoked to see you finally live out your dream of running at Bonneville..thanks for letting me take part in it...wished I would've came in sooner and spent more time in the garage with you the last few months...really looking forward to this racing season..good job Skip..that THING looks sweet....see you soon Buddie...

It must be great when you're at the stage when you have to decide what colour to paint your car.

You even get advice from the members here! :-D

Job done Skip.
Spoiled for choice IMO. :cheers: :cheers:

Hi Guys,

Thanks for kind comments.

Jorge - Your a great friend and I appreciate all the help, your expert contributions, anytime you can.

As for paint - Stainless carries the day, staying on budget to complete the test program. Why, the chassis has the aforementioned Rustoleum already applied. And I have 2 gallons in reserve. That way I'm not gutted when I have to make changes.

Nonetheless, when the heap performs, the bank account recovers and volunteers arrive for the free beer, Dr G's suggestions will carry the day.

I have a fresh gallon of that blue in PPG Urotech Industrial SS Urethane I can donate to the cause.

G'day Skip,

looking awesome, and whilst I appreciate the devil is in the detail, you're smashing it...

Keep chipping away,

Looking forward to seeing this haul butt at the salt.... :-D

Cheers,

Drewfus

P.S. not that my 2c counts, but paint wise, pick your tool of choice, but this one has the connection for me....

It's alive.

It's been a long road to get here and I can't thank enough those who have helped along the way.

Now it's off to the chassis dyno.
