Jim, I got to agree with you, I built my current car in 1998, used the tank off the one I built in 1996, painted the chassis with 6 cans of Rustoleum Sunrise Red, made all the panels out of yellow, prepainted aluminum, same with hood, added my own ARROW chassis decals, in red, and a few others from parts suppliers, and I think it still looks nice, even from 20 ft, it gets washed after every race, the yellow makes it last longer, and the nice thing about the prepainted aluminum is it's even, and its cheap, and it holds up well, and it is easy to spot on the track, I'd like to be able to do it over every couple of years, but it suits me like it is, the paint is easy to match, so I'll probably go thru another season with it, good Lord willing! By the way, hand painted numbers, and most of the lettering! Bob
