Re: EK 4 Sue ........ progress
Awesome build up story, Thanks Gaz for keeping us updated. Gotta ask where the hell do you find the time to do it all
Hope it all goes well to the finish.
Did you always plan to finish it in all white or did you consider painting the roof or stainless trim insert a differant colour to break up the solid colour?

Re: EK 4 Sue ........ progress
maybe just a differant colour, if that's what you want too 
Re: EK 4 Sue ........ progress
What I want to do is oneday change the wheels to either Convo Pros or Dragway Indy pros and lower it a few inches.....then it should look the part. I have thought about different coloured wheels, I think red maybe too much.... maybe Scotty can do some paintshop magic and do some colours on this lowered versionratbox wrote:maybe just a differant colour, if that's what you want too

It sounds like trying to convince Sue into painting the 'flash' gunmetal is as hard as getting you to paint the Black Beast's inner flash Red!!
