Baz,
I have decided to use Contagious Colour.
There were a couple of other options that were really good, but I think that Jason at Contagious suited my budget, expectations and timeframe best.
Cheers,
Ben

Another update.
The stripped out shell has gone to the painters.
I have made up a trolley for the bare body to be put on in a few weeks. Then I can start working on some of the driveline.
Bodywork started.

Looks good. What colour are you painting it? Is the red in the engine bay the colour or is that just the gel coat?
Keep the pics coming.

The original colour under the bonnet was a special paint that is now discontinued.
Going for PPG O So Orange now with silver stripes.
Cheers,

That is a sweet colour. I have been considering the lamborgini colour that is similar to that with white stripes.
Cant wait to see how it turns out.

Great body prep, keep the pictures coming. It seems like it's been a while since there were so many projects at different stages of construction being documented on this forum. I think it's fantastic.
Regards.

That colour looks fantastic, you must be very pleased!
Are there any issues with putting the body on after painting? I would have thought there was a high risk of paint cracking.
Are the stripes silver with a white pearl on the edges?

Thanks for the photos. The more you look, the more detail you see.
The photos do not do that colour justice, I bet it really pops when out in the sun. 
Looking foward to seeing it at the Nats. |

Thanks guys.
The stripes are PPG staight silver tinter with the vibrance pearl over the top. Part of the stripes and body were in the middle of colour sanding when the body went on, hence the faded bits in some of the photos.
Once it is all buffed it will look even better.
Cheers,
Ben

Love what you've done with your car, it looks fantastic. I was wondering where you purchased your rocker covers for your engine. I have an L98 6ltr Chevy engine and I am having trouble finding rocker covers to fit.
