Re: Tornado TS40 #875
Good grief, Scott - did the boys at Spikes blend a little nuclear waste into the yellow? You're gonna need welding goggles to be in that thing on a sunny day.

Like Freddie Prinze used to say so well: Looking goooooood!

Re: Tornado TS40 #875
Looks brilliant!

I remember when my car got to that stage and suddenly it seems to take a huge jump forward.

Are you blacking out under perspex of the front lights and around carbs? Mat black stops light scatter and lots less reflections for the rear view mirror.
