Dr H Posted December 10, 2015 Author Posted December 10, 2015 You will notice that I didn't mention which summer! Probably best not to.
Phil S1 Posted December 10, 2015 Posted December 10, 2015 Best get that ad written up for the 340R to make some room then
Daveb99 Posted December 11, 2015 Posted December 11, 2015 Zowie! (sorry I never really left Scooby Doo behind). Chatsworth must be the target Leigh.....we'll forgive you providing you paint it Lotus Racing Green & Yellow I know you'll want the 340R to go to a good home. As you need to make space, and I'm just down the road (and equally meticulous!) I'll happily keep it regularly exercised for you....
Dr H Posted December 11, 2015 Author Posted December 11, 2015 There is no way on earth it would be ready for Chatsworth! So it looks like I'm going to have the chassis. I need to decide what colour. They usually paint the chassis in the same colour as the body of the car. However I have no idea what colour I want. Green? White? Orange? Blue? God knows..... I might go with black and then it doesn't matter what colour I have the body. What say MLOC?
Gary ZBJ Posted December 15, 2015 Posted December 15, 2015 White (then still doesn't matter what colour body you go with, but the chassis will stand out more when you look at the car)
Dr H Posted December 15, 2015 Author Posted December 15, 2015 Hmmmm....think I might have to go black. I might do the car green but not decided what green if I do. Most customers seems to use a RAL colour and they match the powder coat on the chassis and gel coat on the bodies. I won;t be going for coloured polished gel coat, I'll be having it sprayed properly. White might look a bit too bling!
kieranexige Posted December 15, 2015 Posted December 15, 2015 A Graphite colour might not look to bad. It may highlight the chassis enough to show a difference but not show the dirt etc that white would.
The Cakes Posted December 15, 2015 Posted December 15, 2015 Were the original chassis body coloured? Azzurro blue would be my choice.
jonnyfox Posted December 15, 2015 Posted December 15, 2015 Wasn't Zowie Captain Cave man Dave? Needs to be LOUD ;-)
Dr H Posted December 15, 2015 Author Posted December 15, 2015 Were the original chassis body coloured? Azzurro blue would be my choice. I think they did. But I have seen red cars with both red and black chassis.
Dr H Posted December 15, 2015 Author Posted December 15, 2015 Ordered, in satin black. Will have it with the electrical, cooling and braking pack at the end of Jan. Also had an offer to do something very interesting with the engine re TBs. Only a plan at the moment but could be really interesting and something I've not seen before on the Alfa engine.
Phil S1 Posted December 16, 2015 Posted December 16, 2015 Sounds like someone will be having a VERY happy new year
Dr H Posted December 17, 2015 Author Posted December 17, 2015 Sounds like someone will be having a VERY happy new year When I'm scratching my head and tearing my hair out trying to build it - I'll remember your post
