250 Testa Rossa Posted March 19, 2017 Share Posted March 19, 2017 JC, that looks great. What gauge would you use for the fuel lines? Would any of the flexible line from Detail Master be suitable? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

afx Posted March 20, 2017 Author Share Posted March 20, 2017 (edited) The GT rules required a speedometer be installed as they would be on a production car. Speedometers provide no meaningful information to a race car driver so they were installed well out of the line of sight.

afx Posted March 28, 2017 Author Share Posted March 28, 2017 Thanks Maxx. Applied white primer for the final coat in hopes it will lighten the final shade. Color comes next Princess (Viking) Blue. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

afx Posted March 29, 2017 Author Share Posted March 29, 2017 You most likely have better information than I do Rick but this is from Rinsey Mills’ book AC Cobra-The Truth Behind the Anglo-American Legend: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mark IV Posted April 3, 2017 Share Posted April 3, 2017 I understand what Mr. Mills has printed, but "Princess Alice Blue" is an AC color, and while similar to "Viking Blue", it is not identical. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
afx Posted April 3, 2017 Author Share Posted April 3, 2017 (edited) There are a lot of differing opinions out there regarding Viking vs. Princess Blue. Here are few examples: http://www.clubcobra.com/forums/all-cobra-talk/110452-original-289-colors.html http://www.acownersclub.co.uk/forum/topic.asp?TOPIC_ID=1810 http://www.the289register.com/phpBB3/viewtopic.php?t=1899 I'll just refer to it as "Viking Blue" going forward so as to avoid confusion.
