I think you should paint the red stripe back on and clear it

Edit... looked back... looks like the red was on the trim piece.

Very sexy in bare metal...

Love this little car and your INSANE attention to detail, cant wait to see videos of if Terrorizing the streets !

watahyahknow · 11-15-2013, 12:51 PM

looking at the bare car i would say gunmetal grey metallic would look good alltough its a modern colour
another option would be to use some chassic racingcolours referring to toyota (white and red)

Low Elco · 11-15-2013, 02:11 PM

Just Sexy! Man, I love me some blasted metal.

Bishops Trucks · 11-15-2013, 02:44 PM

It's been a long time since I checked out the progress on this build. What a piece of artwork. Great job!

Frizzle Fry · 11-15-2013, 04:10 PM

Thanks dudes! I should have some SPI primered pics for you tonight!

Frizzle Fry · 11-15-2013, 11:45 PM

Primer!

Two coats of SPI down:

Doors Tomorrow (this one not yet sanded)

NONHOG · 11-15-2013, 11:56 PM

PRIMER! Almost as cool as bare metal. Looking real good!

It does have a tin roof, but I have 150 foot fir trees on the south side so it stays pretty cool in the summer. The insulation can't hurt though!

Frizzle Fry · 11-16-2013, 12:05 AM

I agree. Bare metal looks cooler ...for a little while.

faribran · 11-16-2013, 09:39 AM

Looks like the primer flowed out really good

Frizzle Fry · 11-17-2013, 02:04 AM

The painter said if flows very well. I'll find out for myself soon enough. But first I have to prepare the shop to be able to maintain proper paint and cure temps (>65*F).

Very nice! Congrats!
good picture too.

Frizzle Fry · 11-21-2013, 10:55 AM

Thanks Mike. Here a bigger one. Should be able to read the description. But you guys already know that stuff and much much more

socorob · 12-06-2013, 03:40 PM

This is a great build. Makes me miss my Sunbeam.

Frizzle Fry · 12-09-2013, 10:59 AM

Thanks socorob.

Shop got a little love. More left to do, but it's warmer and better lit now:

And the Prodigal Son returns!

ERASER5 · 12-09-2013, 12:54 PM

Time to find the fatted cat ... er.. calf. Yea, that's what I ment.

Frizzle Fry · 12-09-2013, 02:08 PM

Not sure if I mentioned - the floor, eng bay, trunk, and entire underside are still bare since I have a few loose ends to clean up in those areas. I'll be spraying the SPI epoxy myself and hitting the underside and wheel wells with Raptorliner within the SPI respray window.
