Glenn,

 

I really like the all bright white body work. Reminds me of Graem Gee's all white Caterham. Very tasteful with the dual black competition stripes.

 

Did you fabricate the seats?

Thanks Jack,

 

The strip colors are dark blue metallic, in the sun they really show nicely but look black at night. Graem's was an inspiration, along with Hank's. I matched the white to my cobra, the cobra just never seems to look dirty. I thought about adding a r500 style side strip but liked the car with out it. The black linex on the rear fenders will break up the white just enough.

 

I did make the seats, they are similar to Mark's. I find the laid back position, along with the under thigh support great. I used memory foam, so they are really comfortable. Wife will pick the seat cover material next week.

I can not remember if I posted this last Fall, but 3 weeks after the car was registered I got rear ended. 20ish girl texting while driving. Thankfully, she hit where no frame damage resulted, just fiberglass. If I was in second gear I could have got away, but was in fourth, and just missed by about a foot.

 

All fiberglass is now repaired and looks great. I had the fender fronts Line-x coated to stop rock chips. Have an upholstery shop appointment in about 2 weeks to finish the tonneau cover and seat covers.
