Hot Orange (Pic Heavy - Dialup Beware)

Looking a million bucks Mark, very well done.
When do you get to drive it for the first time, or have you done that already?
Do you have any idea why it was originally built as a left hand drive?

Hi All
Thanks for the thumbs-up
Wait 'till it's finished... To say I'm happy with the results so far is a bit of an understatement! This thing stopped traffic (literally) when I rolled it out of my garage...
Drive it Fred??? - What - and get the tires dirty? Honestly though - still pondering the drive train options (er, which is why you ain't seeing any engine shots ) Fast road or full race... decisions, decisions
Again, thanks for all the positive feedback everybody ... Nice feeling when things work out.

Hi Mark
Sitting here gaaaaazing at the photos, as you do, I wonder if you considered doing the headlight buckets in orange? Maybe you should try a photoshop? I recon it might look even more dramatic like that?
Cheers

Thanks guys 'Might' have posted large pics in the Gallery with a bit of help from the our Fearless Leader Ron...
The headlight buckets were orange originally Fred... When I went to the panel beater after the centre gunmetal stripe was done, the buckets just didn't look 'right'... Pondered that one for a while and told them to spray 'em satin black. In my opinion, the car looks alot more balanced now as the black emphasizes the centre stripe on the front clip even more, and ties the black pin-stripe, window frame surrounds, rims, mirrors and tail light section together.
Personal preference I guess, then maybe I'm just placing too much emphasis on the aesthetic... Occupational hazard from being a graphic designer for way too long... (Somebody please shoot me and put me out of my misery :dead: )
