Awesome build up story, Thanks Gaz for keeping us updated. Gotta ask where the hell do you find the time to do it all :D
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?

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 version :wink: :wink:

I really like the colour idea Scotty, Sue loves the colour on the wheels but I can't convince her to do the flash :roll: :roll: ...... I will look for some colour similar tomorrow and see what happens :wink: . I fitted the lowering blocks and lowered front springs ( :wink: :wink: ) today, is sitting almost exactly as your pic! will take a pic on the lawn tomorrow, hopefully with rego plates! 8) 8)

I'm glad I could help out with colour ideas Garry & Sue.. :wink:
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!! :roll: :lol: :lol: :lol:
