What about black?

Works for me...
A bit evil looking don't you think...?????

Alan, I think that body would look good in any color. Black is exceptionally nice.
But I really want to see what you will be doing with the windshield.

Alan,
My opinion is that black cars look cool/mean/moody in real life, but when appearing in pics you can't really make out the lines.

I think for showing off your baby you should stick to lighter colours. Everyone (nearly) loves a red sports car but what about trying a metallic (Blue or Silver??)?

Steve, so far the plan is a very short (about 3" tall) full width aeroscreen....out of Lexan...but we'll see I guess...

Thinking of having seven style side supports (alum/chrome/body colour) incorporating mirror brackets...perhaps.....just a thought..

black will look good, though doesn't show the lines very well unless seen in the flesh!

Ned.

Ian, Ned...thanks, good point.

To be honest red is my favourite, although I'm tempted by silver.....someone asked me about black so I played around in paintshop...

You don't want to see some of the colours I did...very lurid...would have you throwing up....

I do...


Alan B - 19/6/03 at 02:42 PM

Ok Hippy you asked for it.....

You have been warned....look out for a separate thread to protect the weak of stomach....

Sorry but I think that the black hides all of the good features of the car It will probably look fab in real life but in the picture it just looks flat and lifeless.

Red shows it off better!
How about with a full windshield!
I have also modified the front end a bit, supposedly to look like the front in your "Reference" images at bottom of page.

Ah Terry yes, you can see how the screen and faired in hoop make a difference...

I'll get there eventually...nearly two years so far......

Darker colours always seem to show up minor imperfections to a greater degree. I like the red but show us the other colours. Any lime greens, lemon yellows or fluorescent pinks?.

yours, Pete.

Alan, it's really looking like the mutt's nuts now. I particularly liked the resplendent purple livery a few threads down. Well done.
