That chassis looks totally sick. It'll be a blast on the track when it's done.

And I'm taking notes. I'd like to do a super next time around if I can't find a good T3.

Joe Cali's book is essential. You can find it on aircooled.net or next-generation.com (I think. Just punch Joe Cali into google).

Next would be Raby's Bug-Me video.

That'll get you started.

I think the grey would be a nice contrast. Would go with the wheels as well.

When I did mine, I tried to limit the entire car to 2 or 3 colors. Any more than that and it seems gaudy. So I stuck...
