Dam Mad
Looks pretty good, glad to see you aren't doing things by half (Bare Metal). Are you going for orinigal colours or something later?
Good to see another beast being looked after.

Hi Dam_Mad

I think my wife would kill me if i did that to my FC. I think I should though. I feel I need more shed space before I do though.

Keep up the good work. What colour are you going to paint the old girl.

Cheers Jim

Thanks Jim,

Wanted to see what was under all that paint (three different colors)  It is going to be white over blue, an aqua type blue.. Thinking about running centrelines maybe, if anyone has a photo of an FC with centrelines would be happy to veiw them..

Cheers

Here it is. Sorry it's not that great but it was hurried as it's kid pumpkin hour at our place  :P

It was also bloody hard to get a good image of a centreline wheel. These are the original flat faced type.

Cheers,

Craig

Trent,

Have a look here http://www.fefcholden.org.au/techinfo/painter/index.html

You can paint an FC most of the original factory colours in various combinations.

Let me know your exact choice of colours and wheels and I'll mock something up for you.

Cheers,

Craig.
