It's a start!!

Small steps have been made with the beast.

Looked for a before shot and this was the best I had in the files for comparison but at least taken at a similar angle.




Now it looks like this! I'll need sunglasses changing the oil and plugs!




And the chassis is on Marty's trailer and will be in his shed tomorow.

Just awaiting a bellhousing and associated bits from Mr Dellow and the new motor and new gearbox will be allowed to mate.

Maybe if I'm lucky I'll get a 347 out of the union??

I'll say! How are Greg's eyes after laying that colour down?!

Any metallic or pearl in the mix?

The safety boss wanted a bright non-blue colour, something just like..............ehem yours Michael.

And your ok Boxhead you're different with your brown, so we're all cool.

I think there's a little sparkle in the stripe colour Paul. And wait till he has to do the rest of the body.

Mine will be Devil Yellow when I get around to paint.
The guy who did my wiring has just ordered a SC540 and he is going to be Yellow with Black stripes, just like mine.
There will be more yellow ones than blue soon.

Boxhead I don't recall you alluding to a finished colour when we caught up but there's nothing wrong with yellow.

One of the first cobra's built was painted some form of yellow and I think blue came later, so the real program is to get all the cars into yellow!!

I'd have to say my first colour choice was in fact a traditional blue with white stripe.

But as I've said before, getting approval to purchase from the finance department was the biggest hurdle, so SWMBO's choice in colour, within reason, was a reasonable trade for being able to just get a kit!

The Wasp is Devil Yellow [GM]

Parked next to it at ShelbyFest we couldn't pick the difference from my Rapid Yellow [Ford] -(probably the same formula)

Michael in the shade I'd agree, but when there was some sun on both the cars I was of the opinion that Wasp's colour had a more golden tinge to it. I did take comparison photos with both cars in shot but of course the photos do no justice.

In this respect I'd say it was a very subtle difference but as it was the war office's decision anyway, who am I to argue, and yes Rapid is Ford and going to the Devil is GM. What the heck!!

That's why you guys look so cool ! Looking at the yellow cars you need sunglasses so the perception is cool guys in sunnies ! :P

[stephen low]

Oh and with the added protection of improved vision and roundabouts too I am hoping!!
