Re: Just got the Formula back from the body shop :)
 
when the car gets painted of course orange peel exist. You need to wetsand it to get rid of it. Looks pretty good though.

Re: Just got the Formula back from the body shop :)
 
well if it isnt Nick himself!

Shiny and nice. Just the way it ought to be. I am going to paint my formula soon also. It lookes killer though. How long was it at the shop for?

Looks great. Now all you need are ZR1 wheels, Ram Air 1 Hood, and some 91/92 Tails and you will be my clone. :)

i'm actually looking at the ZR1 wheels if i can't get a hold of a set of the Ronal Firehawk rims :eek3:
----------
and the car was gone for about... three and a half weeks. no orange peel to be found anywhere. i've got new door panels sitting in my room, they're going in on monday. i'm very happy with the car. rims, carpet... it'll be pretty much brand new after that.

its the bokeh from the shallow depth of field with the lens i was using. just background blur from the camera settings ;)

WS6Formula305: is yours the factory color?

18inchboyds 05-12-2007 05:48 AM

Re: Just got the Formula back from the body shop :)
 
awesome looking , i think the Firehawk wheels would be a great addition , but the only thing is you can only run 12 inch brakes with it . I don't know of anyone running 13 inch brakes under them .

Re: Just got the Formula back from the body shop :)

Re: Just got the Formula back from the body shop :)
 
Looks awesome!! And it's my favourite colour too!!!

Re: Just got the Formula back from the body shop :)
 
Hey 18inchboyds, you can run 13in C4HD's behind Firehawk's cause thats what I have. Baer's setup wont fit though. Just some idea's for ya.

some more shots with the doors closed :o

Hawk's had TWO sets of the Firehawk rims left... ordered one today :) They'll be in on Wednesday.

A few more weeks and the car goes back to the shop for a final polish and glaze, then they'll put the decals on and it'll be ****ing sexy.

Did you get all new seals or did they take them off or tape them?

Hey
that car looks familiar !!

It looks clean.
Nothing like a bright red formula !!

If you go with 13 inch rotors you have to go to a 17 inch rim... Its up to you what you deem fit.

Ronal doesn't make them any more and I got one of the last two sets that Hawk's had in stock... so good luck finding them.
