Next up was glueing the foam barrier on the underside of the fenders.
This is a pita job, much easier to do before the car goes down on the ground.

Speaking of on the ground, these are the wheel tire combo for this one.

The smell of new Avons, Nice!

Really nice! In some light the red is really RED, but the last couple photos look very orange. Is it due to the flash?

I thought I remembered you posting the color, but I couldn't find it. What's the color name and code for the paint?

I see a lot of effort in the primaries, but I don't like the collector.

The car is wonderful. The details are just incredible.

I really like the color. You mentioned Viper Red, but I don't see the code. Please post it if you don't mind.

Thanks John,
this car is coming along super nice.

The paint I was told is PPG viper red, I don't have the code but will ask the painter for it.
Cheers

Looks really good now.

I'd like to see some heat shielding over the master cylinders.

Craig makes these. It is shipped with a very nice insulating material that is applied to both sides. The insulation wasn't yet installed when this photo was taken.

Here we have one of my oil puke tanks / catch can mounted.
Drilled and tapped the gearbox breather location, made up the fitting to connect the hose to the puke tank.

Great job, it is really coming together nicely. If I was the owner I would be all smiles.
