The bodywork on the blue car used to look almost exactly like the drawing. There were orriginally gaps at the back of the car, and the bumper tucked into them. The owner thought that moving the tail lights out, widening the bumper, and filling in the gaps was more to his liking.

Personally, this car kicks ass! who cares about perfect paint when it's job is avoiding cones?

I f you look at the lines of the blue one ,quaterpanels ,rear spoiler ,&just shape of the whole car all together , to me looks alot like the car on the new animated movie "Cars" (lighting McQueen). , thought about painting mine up like it just cause my kids like it so much.

Yeah, it is. I've been thinking about something like that on my 1200, then running a pipe from it to a fuel cell in the spare tire well.

I love the inclusion of the Le Mans filler cap on the car in the drawing.

That blue car actually looks better in person. Saw it up close at canby '06. The paint has alot of problems, but with a little work it could be pretty sweet.

Quote:It is an active racing car, and looks great in person. The work is mostly fiberglass, but the bit of filler around the taillights is not finished to Concours condition.

That's getting close:




Is it just me or can you see dodgy lines of body filler???
