I'm liking that color combo more and more every time I see it. Very nice. Maybe you can cut the grass with the splitter.
Looks good. How many have you finished now?

Wayne, how did you end up securing the front of the engine cover? I see a quik-latch for the back of it, but not the front.
Great job Wayne. Any Coupes in the hopper?
Nice looking 818 Wayne, I also like that color.
I want to paint my Roadster that color
It's a custom blend that me and my painter came up with. For $5 I'll give you the formula
I am building a 818R for a guy in Texas right now
I took a different approach at the front of this engine cover. I used the top door striker support bolt to attach a .250" piece of aluminum that lays inside of the vertical area at the front of the engine cover, drilled and tapped the plate 5/16-18 and use a plastic knob with a fiber washer against the painted surface of the engine cover. This way it is solid mounted to the frame and keeps the body free of visible attachment points.
Only putting one on my car.

Fantastic Color!
Just wish I had the expertise and budget to do one.
Also, Subaru's are not common down here in the land of Dixie!
Very Nice Car!

That's some great paint work.
Wayne, where in Michigan? I would love to meet a fellow Michigan 818 owner.

Beautiful color, very much what I was envisioning mine to look like once I finish. Great work!
Thanks for the info on the engine cover attachment. I've been brainstorming ideas lately since I'm working on the body now. One idea I had was to glue some U-channel aluminum to the underside of the top of the engine cover (so the legs of the face down), then take another piece of u-channel and glue it just below that, facing up, on the side sail. The legs of the U would overlap. Then drill a hole from the cabin side through the side of the engine cover and through all four legs of the u-channel and secure with a quick release pin. Your way sounds easier though!
