I sometimes wish I had gone black instead of Torch Red.

well, i like the gfx cars too, but prefer the non-gfx stuff more.

sean, i'm not going to make it this weekend, but plan on it for next weekend. i got hit with 3 different things to do saturday all right after i made plans to go racing. unfortunately, racing has to take a backseat this weekend, as well as the march meeting. plan on the 11th with me, and then on the 19th for the shootout!

yep. i really wanted to go, and even tried to revamp my plans so that i can go, but the gates open at 3pm, not 12 on this saturday cause it's a bracket race saturday. which means AWESOME track preperation, but runs right into the stuff i have to do later on.

got the double pumper on the car and some more timing and it REALLY livened it up!

heres a quick ps of a charcoal color on it. the tinted windows help the look alot. but i think you should paint the bottom half black like in this pic. it looks sweet to me. i know its kinda a crappy job but i was just messing around.

heres black... i dont think the black looks good. i did one that was dark blue and it looked real nice with the wheels. i know these are crappy but it gives you an idea of what it will look like. you can come by and check it out i can put any color you want on there and there are a bunch of colors that look good on it. i really like the dark blue but my fav color is blue.
