I actually like the purple too, but I think it fits best on a drag car. I do plan on doing a drag version for sure. So I will save that for that car.

 

But I felt  a color that Bill Thomas chose himself would be fitting. When I saw a pic of him and wife standing next the car that was it.

 

So the deed is done. The perfect day. 70+ no wind. just gotta watch out for these little flying bugs.

I took into consideration, contrasting black panel lines and the chrome do dads, and I think those details will work well with this color.

 

I love red but felt it a bit common, I had your dark blue suggestion there in the line up Isaac. But it did not speak to me when I sprayed it out.

 

Anyway I feel great about the choice.  Its in the box drying

 

Look how happy these guys look    

 

Here is that car! And slot cars even get a mention.

 

Apologies if this video has already been posted.

I do not why the original car was painted red when the team was Alan Green?

Thanks for the interest guys. I have been chipping away at it. I am building a stocker, a Cheetahracha and the Channeled  car. All at the same time.

 

Weather has been good, good enough where repairing my 150' picket fence that I built 20years ago which needs some help. So this has taken priority.

First section is done, working my way up the hill, every picket is a different length and it goes uphill at 10 degrees.

All have to be custom cut primed and painted. Once screws holes are patched then repainted in place.

 

But I will take some pics of where the Cheetah projects stands as of today.

Interior is done and in-place, happy with that. The 3 chassis are all done just a few details to finish the bodies.

 

The plan is to show the 3 stance levels. Stock, Channeled and Racha.

 

Reviewing the plan, the Channeled car has the full front valance, side pipes and a full interior with motor box. 

 

Just added a couple of detail shots of the interior. My Trompe-l'œil needs a bit of work. But it works when its in side the car.

That interior is incredible!

[Phil Smith]

Yes it is!

 

Martin, we need some side shots of those cars so we can see how much lower your channeled car is.

Mike, what happened to your post? Did you get the PM I sent you?

 

Thanks Dave. I still need to work on the passenger seat. It is still not right.

 

Thanks Phil, yes I will get to those pics. FYI I cut 3/16" off the bottom of the body.

I know this is not what you had in mind, but this gives you a good gauge I hope.

Left to right, stock, channeled and the Racha.
