    Dropped mine at Mike’s on saur day. He says 4-6 weeks. A guy was picking up his car as we were dropping ours off. As far as color goes I’m going with Mini Cooper 870 electric blue, which is the color on the 289 on the FFR showroom. My CFO saw that color and said “that’s it”

    Outstanding job !

    I love the look of it with the larger sidewall tires, 15" I presume?

    Thanks Bill!

    Yes, those are 15" wheels. I'm also a fan of the larger sidewall on these cars. The tires are pretty good, no complaints so far.

    Chris -

    Great looking car. We are just looking to start our project and going for that "period correct" racing look. If I may ask, how did you do your hood scoop and where did you get the decals? Are they above or under the clear coat?

    Any tips for the new guy on what you wish you did or traps to avoid?
