Agreed, Wodge, I was hoping we could steer Nige away from that look!

Re: project insanity
Uuuh! I can't see what you posted Nik, was it a picture & which one are you trying to steer me away from ? As you say Rog, it is a bit bizarre for a painter to not paint his car. This is why I'm having difficulty in deciding whether to leave it alone or paint it. It's like having someone on either shoulder telling you two different things, maybe I need treatment for these voices I'm getting.

Now I can see it, I've seen that pic before, but I don't like the shiny roof at all, but it might look much better if it were brushed or with a satin finish (media blasted). Certainly wouldn't have the helmet hump in it

Re: project insanity
I don't think they are, but I may be wrong. Pin-drive wheels are still quite rare, so there probably hasn't been much call for IVA friendly nuts.
Dave Brookes at DB Replicas is having some made up for his cars, so it might be worth talking to him.

Re: project insanity
I believe it was 150 hours to make that hardtop, and the helmet hump is to clear the single roll hoop as well as the helmet. Why not cover it in vinyl, 70`s style...agnoraan wrote:..I don't like the shiny [hardtop] at all, but it might look much better if it were brushed or with a satin finish (media blasted).
