Default Car is painted. Sneak preview!

Almost finished. Paint scheme is based on the racer pictured. Will be doing a build thread soon. Body and chassis will be mated in a couple of weeks. I can see the light at the end of the tunnel.

well all of a sudden can’t post pics ugh! I give up. Done this hundreds of times and can’t get it to work now.
Copy the direct link into the little mountain icon and upload it, then post.

No more copying the url and using [img] [img] like the old board. It’s a pain in the *** now to do a bunch of pics and add text to them.

We definitely need pics tho.

Thanks guys. Richard, thanks for saving me lol. Can’t figure out why all the pics went to my profile instead of the thread but I will try to figure it out. I have a couple more to post. The orange used is good old Hemi orange. I like it better than the red as well.
