Here is what I've done so far this snowy cold weekend. I just put the decals on and I will let it sit tell at least Tuesday night for Clear coat  ....It needs it  Its just going to be a curbside as the engine cover was going to give me fits. So far so good, just a simple build  I hope I put the Goodyear logos in the right spots? My Ref. pictures aren't that good.    |

Nice job. The paint lines came out sharp. And Michael's decals, especially the yellow ones, have a better, deeper look than the kit decals.
I agree on the engine cover, but the March sits a lot better than the Lolas.
What size drill bit do you use for the suspension?
EDIT: The kit directions for the decals has the Diehard and STP decals going on the little panel underneath the engine cover, under the winglets.

The drill size I use is .025 I was looking at this pic for decal placement www.trackforum.com/forums/showpost.php?p=2161603&postcount=1056 |

As we all know, the AMT directions aren't always 100% accurate anyway. Does that drill bit size work well on the actual suspension parts or do I need a smaller one? |

I always never follow the directions I use the same size drill with the suspension also but really it depends on the size of wire you are using. As you know Mike does a good job on the wire suspension trick with his PC17 front row. |

Looks sweet!
Becareful with the clear coat! The Old Calhoun I'm doing is a curb side kind of....The engine is there only to hang the exhaust pipe to. Have fun with it. It looks great so far!
Best to you!

Looking good! I'm guessing the blue is TS44 - what did you use for the yellow?

TS-15 yellow.....I thought it was the best, but yellow is one of those colors that look different from picture to picture. I've never seen the car in real life...so I really dont know.

I wasn't sure if it was that or chrome yellow. Either way it looks great.

I think chrome yellow would be way to dark compared to the yellow decals.
