I'm thinking 2 tone of some kind.
Glad you like it.
It may seem like a crazy idea but I'v been thinking of chopping the top.
A wedge chop of some kind.What type of resin was used,so i can bond it back
together if I do cut it. I do like to be different don't I.
And also get into bigger projects than is expected.

Got the H&R 26 k Cobra motor in and running.
The car is just nuts on 15vdc running on plastic .
So I waited and ran it on a buddys 4 lane wood oval on about 10vdc,
I was trying to evaluate the car and decide what move to make next.
A set of Paul Gage tires were coming for the build.
The tires made the car settle down A LOT ,so I increased the mag size.
Real fast down the straight,just trying to tune it for the cornering.
Right now it's time to do some running and see what I should do next.
I like to do this, all BEFORE final paint,
seems the the slamming into corner does not HURT sooo much.

Not at all Dave. Everybody does it different.
I gotta let up on the throttle a bit.
I like fast,driveable, and a street version slot car
I plan to make this sedan a product you can be proud to be the molder of.
Just test painted,orange,purple,bright yellow, all water base,WHO KNOWS !!

I got enough battery by mixing them up!
I had intended to paint the car 2 tone blue BUT,I just couldn't get yellow out of my
head, SO here it is !!

I will run this for a while,to see if I can live with it ! I have got to see it go by me a few
times before I am happy with it.
I will add windows and interior if the color is a keeper :auto-swerve:

Thanks Dave
Do you think the color suites the car ??
Sure wish I could get my pictures better,there always blurry somewhere.
I was trying to get the wheels to come out clearer but ran out of battery.
I may have to invest in a newer,better camera someday.
I only got 4 megapixals which is very low by today standards.
Never could do closeups,and I never use the zoom as it's only digital. :angry-tappingfoot:
