Snitz track car paint update/Almost done!
Adam your creation is looking pretty darn impressive! Well done!! Thanks again to Short Throw who spent a ton hours help with the design (& out with me today to snap a few of these pics).
As painting portion of the project is coming to a close, can’t wait to get this thing put together and hopefully on the track for “sorting out” next week. For anyone wondering, the orange and blue sections are done in paint, the text and stripping is done in vinyl.
Note: The pics below, show only the panels loosely attached and don’t include the wing and front under-tray. The various parts will need to be permanently fastened on to the body/chassis.

Tom failed to mention that the car has not been buffed completely yet. The spots that are shined up look fantastic. The car is menacing with the flared fenders. If it's never driven it was still worth all the effort.................................n ah.
I'll be sneaking back there tomorrow to add a couple of lead bricks on the floor.

Holy sheet - that looks AMAZING!!
My car is in the paint shop too right now, but it will come out looking tame and a little lame next to that thing.
Very nice design, and very well executed.

Thanks everybody for the thumbs up. Much appreciated.
Thanks guys! You should receive tomorrow late, with luck! Can't wait to see it put back together.
Mikey: Thanks for stopping by to see this thing taking shape today. Too bad Adam doesn't live closer to see his creation first hand. PS. I think you're right. Once it's full put back together and buffed up, it should really look nasty.
Then again, you wrote the book on "bad ***" looking cars.

LAME, LAME, LAME . . . .speaking of MY C5 at the Autobahn Garage! With Snitz's beast across the isle, and the original BEAST next to me, my Original Pewter (1999 FRC) with Black stripe is just LAME!
Don't you guys know that I'm a terrible loser . . . . now I have to spend the whole damn winter trying to figure out how to compete. It won't be with horsepower, both of you have that market cornered. It's not likely to be with paint - both cars look fantastic. I think I will do something on the interior . . . maybe in a nice **** carpet! Your custom carbon fibre interiors can't compete with that!
