Well...I can never leave good enough alone. The white decal stripes that come with kit were bugging me as I don't think decals ever really look that great over compound curves and the radiator cooling tube that was molded in was going to be painted white to match the decal. So...I cut off the molded in cooling shroud and fashioned a new one out of brass. Now I can mask the white for my stripes and paint the shroud a matching white. The plan is to squirt white first then mask my stripe, then squirt blue.  |

I knew Sir Jack was a great driver, but had no idea he carried a camera in the car with him to take photos while driving. Holy crap!!

I had the same thought about that coolant tube cover. I don't think you could ever get the decal to look right. The color thing is very interesting, I have a plan for mine.
