Beaut. Love the colour. Is it Candy Apple Red? If so I understand there are different red base colours which can be used - is this so?

Congratulations Ross...

Being in Perth, I'd love to see your car once you've got the plates on it and you can driver her around...maybe a few of the Perth forum members may like to meet at a convenient "water hole" to Christen her?

It sounds like a plan to me, I am looking for any excuse to go for a drive and have lots of people admire my car. Better still if we combine it with a quiet ale or two.

Lets hope the weather improves by the time the plates are on, I have been told that the new system in WA can take 8 weeks to process the paperwork before DPI invites you in for an inspection.

On my first meeting with the engineer he told me that the final approval "may" take up to six weeks, but he reckons you'll normally be driving it within two weeks.

A "meeting" (codeword for we'll drool on your new car) would be a great idea. Let us all know when the plates are on...

The colour is PPG Hellfire Red (one shade darker than Candy Apple), it is on a neutral base of black. The colour base is 4 coats of orange and then 8 of red.
I love the way it changes colour from light to dark.
