exesivefire Posted October 20, 2014 Author Share Posted October 20, 2014 So making pretty good progress. Shot primer on most of the larger pieces, getting ready to spray some color and start assembling the major sub assemblies. Figured this was a good time to document progress with a few pictures.

freakshow12 Posted October 20, 2014 Share Posted October 20, 2014 That is looking so good. I don't think you can call it the track rat anymore. It deserves shiny paint as it's looking like a top notch track day car Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

exesivefire Posted October 20, 2014 Author Share Posted October 20, 2014 I contemplated going with a hunter green, but I'm sticking with the olive drab I planned from the beginning. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
exesivefire Posted October 20, 2014 Author Share Posted October 20, 2014 color on the chassis, going to finish up the bits in the engine bay and get that motor mounted. Then I can move on to the Interior. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
exesivefire Posted October 20, 2014 Author Share Posted October 20, 2014 figured I would use a piece of vinyl to tryout the hood stripe before paint (don't focus too much on how perfect I laid it) and figured out two good things. 1- I like the stripe. 2- if I take my time and cut carefully, I can actually use the vinyl instead of trying to paint it on. this is thin enough it probably would leave less of an edge.

Devilsnake98 Posted October 21, 2014 Share Posted October 21, 2014 (edited) The color choice is weird but I think it will look pretty sweet. The stripe should set it off as well. Is the stripe gonna be black? Edited October 21, 2014 by Devilsnake98 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
exesivefire Posted October 21, 2014 Author Share Posted October 21, 2014 Thanks guys, yes the stripe will be black. Maybe a red outline.. Maybe Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
