Keep it up, it's looking great flat black.
The front seat should not be screwed straight down to the floor.
A pair of brackets mounted up the sides of the seat will pass roadworthy.
nice name. keep us posted.

that is just BEAUTIFUL!!

seriously, sex in a colour!


id be VERY happy with that!!!

i aspired for something when i saw mazda's mettalic blue..

which is literally the same colour as that only the sparkle you see through it is blue..

i cheated though, i just used blue flake ontop of black base, and plently of clear coat. so the sparkle is alot stronger instead of a fine smooth sparkle...



but seriously james, well done... that is just stunning.
