WOW... Tiny white decals on the light blue background are a little harder to cut out than what one would think! But I think this baby is going to look sweet with the white decals over that blue!
The decals are all cut and ready to go on Thursday night. :D
Why the day delay you ask? Because tomorrow night is MAVERICK Proxy race night! (APalmer race)

Hopefully the storms on the radar for tomorrow don't put a damper in that plan (tonight's storms dumped over 2" of rain in three hours taking the 12 hour total over 3" and the power dropped out intermittently a half dozen times) - so fingers crossed!

White Lightning is finally mounted. :banana-dance: Few things to button up inside and it's time to turn and burn. :D

A little on the heavy side but not bad.(no lead) Hoping the balance is pretty close.

[SRQSloter]

This is a first. Pretty much dead on 60/40 with no weight added.





Hey Dave, I have two extra scales just like these 200g. I will donate them and send with the car.

I agree…Bibbster that looks amazing! I like all of the 'little' details you added.

I can't believe I forgot the wipers... They must be on the table in the shop somewhere. Great job getting the shade of pink correct. Did the girls think you were making a car for them?

I think that car may have to be in the front row in the "beauty shots" of the field.

My car is shipped , sans wipers (hope it doesn't rain ) , mirrors (don't need to see who I pass) and exhaust (hope I don't get fined from some environmental agency). :mrgreen: Seriously , I'm really looking forward to seeing all these cars together - wish I had a track so I could host a race :dance:

[waaytoomuchintothis]

There was a lot to remember to do on this one. We'll have to point Jeremy's car forward and mine backwards to cover!

[SRQSloter]

Here's another piece of shizit. Mine will be coming with a different guide. Don't know what it will be yet will have to see what I got.

[SRQSloter]

I'm not a betting man(not most the time) but I will now. This is the second one I have had break. Mine will have a SlotingPlus in it. Had a Slot.it wood but don't like the way it fits with that taper at the top. Neither one are long enough either. I did cut the junk PM post to use for bushing inside the guide holder to take up some space and a longer screw.

[waaytoomuchintothis]

I really don't understand this. I have broken one guide in my life. What in the world is happening to these guides that never happens to mine?

[studioRS]

JB, excellent Fraise! Haaa, that's funny, yeah sorry I'm such a scale nutter. Mine will be off tomorrow in the post and fur sur know its mine - my fingerprints are all over the clear!
