And all Noose wants to do is just be beautiful, not obsessed!

Ahh, but obsession is what makes me want to make them beautiful!

[Don Weaver]

Hey, Joe, been meanin' to ask...

JD F1s are pretty narrow. How ARE you able to get the spray gun in there to paint them?

[Noose]

Very carefully and at low pressure. Light coats and just build them up. They are PETG and I use lacquer so you can't go heavy.

Make that "Gold Leaf Team Lotus" and 1968, starting with the 49T in the Tasman series.

Dennis, you should feel ashamed of yourself!

The Gunston Cigarette Company of Rhodesia, now Zimbabwe, first introduced tobacco sponsorship to Formula 1 when they sponsored Rhodesian drivers John Love and Sam Tingle for the 1968 SA National Championship series.

The first time Formula One cars appeared in a Grand Prix with cigarette sponsorship was the 1968 South African Grand Prix, where both John Love's Brabham BT20–Repco and Sam Tingle's LDS Mk3B wore Gunston livery.


1968 South African Grand Prix, John Love, Brabham-Repco BT20 (9th place)

The next race of the 1968 F1 World Championship was the Spanish Grand Prix, the first time that Team Lotus cars entered a Grand Prix in Gold Leaf cigarette livery, although their cars had appeared in Gold Leaf colours during the 1968 Tasman Series, held after the SAGP, where Jim Clark and Graham Hill drove Lotus 49T's in Gold Leaf Team Lotus livery mid way through the series.

Stunning work, Noose!

Kind regards,

Russell

[Noose]

I love that livery.

Russ,

I was correcting PdL's posting about Team Lotus, not commenting on who was first, but I had of course forgotten about the Team Gunston cars, so I too stand corrected...

[One_Track_Mind]

I love that livery.

I see a sister car needing to be done in the future for myself... watcha think, Mr. Noose?

[Noose]

What took you so long? LOL. Now the decision for you is whether to have the Brabhman Repco done for Jail Door GP or hmmm... say one of the new Lotus 43s for IRRA F1.

[Noose]

The Elfin safely arrived in Merry Ol England and the owner is happy.

[Noose]

For the Music Police Chief, Jay Henry. Jay painted the stocker and I did the lettering and the interior.

[Noose]

The Scuderia Noose Jail Door GP is ready.

[68Caddy]

Jay, you are lucky, they sure look sweet,

I need to order some bodies? Noose, how is your time schedule for painting up two bodies for me?

[Noose]

Open as always.

[Tex]

Very nice, Joe. You are so prolific; practice surely makes your paint jobs flawless!

[Noose]

Got my new Dilworth International Industries Ltd. Lotus 43 done.



And a new Stock Car body:

[Prof. Fate]

Hi,

Love the Lotus 43. One of my favorite "forgotten" cars. Thanks for the post.

Fate

[Noose]

Finished this one up today for me for my Tony P Aero car. It hasn't had a new body in awhile. LOL.

[Noose]

"Manta Ray" Price has another "PRICE-less" one.

[Tex]

Hey! Ray looks good in that car!

[MantaRay]

Looks just like me. I'm glad that roadster is roomy.

Thanks, Noose...
Very nice surprise.

[Noose]

A couple of Jail Door GP bodies for Tony P - a Honda and a Brabham.

[Tex]

Those are beautiful, man.

[tonyp]

I mounted up the Ferrari he just painted it looks great. Ill have to shoot a couple of shots... The #9's look so good I actually checked to see if they were decals.... Or maybe I just don't see so well anymore.

[Marty Stanley]

I'm not sure, but if you mounted a body, it must mean you have another R&C GP car built!

I'm ready for another race!
