Looks awesome Stiffy. Is that the final colour for the engine bay or primer?

Default White is right.....

SAMBO,


Thats the final colour, they were painted white for Le Mans so they could see at night.


STUAART,

You could be right there,

Great Job Stiffy,

I wish my coupe was in paint. Still un doing some very poor quality workmanship by someone that should never touch a kit car again.

Wow, love the colour. Where does the colour come from? The white framework is very ballsy, cant wait to see some more progress.

Regards.

Looks great Stiffy. I am placing an order with Warick this year for a Daytona kit. I hope he will maintain that same body mould. As you did, I fell for Dru's car at the Nats back whenever. Will discuss more at Shelbyfest.
Cheers
Brett

I think Warwick is going to be building his own Daytonas again shortly. (i.e. same shape as Dru's)

Your car is looking fantastic Stiffy

It struck quite a pose on the track in its pre-paint form





I imagine you'll now have a trail of people following you round just to admire it
