That is awsome. I'll have to order one of those. I saw what they are charging for it. How long did it take to get?

Raoul,
I have some paint codes for Eleanor. Dupont Fleet is 44490 Pepper Metallic Gray. The code for the black metallic paint stripes is 44435. What type of automotive paint should I get? I called and the guy quoted $15.00 per pint of some kind of synthetic two stage paint.
I'm guessing I need a two stage so I can paint the body, mask off the stripes, paint the stripes and then do the clear over the whole body?

I don't know for sure about what type of paint to get. I can tell you that it would be easier to paint the black first. Mask off the stripes and paint the body grey. Then cover it all in clear.
Did you know that Unique Performance, The makers of the GT500E Eleanor plus some others. Was shut down for VIN tampering!!! They were investigated and something like 60 cars were tampered with.

OK Raoul,
I'm sure you know best about doing stripes.
That's a real bummer about the company!

  Well...I'm a bit disappointed  There is a flaw in the side exhaust pipe on the drivers side. It trapped a small air bubble. the picture shows it. This is the second time on the second body that this has happened. I cleaned the surface with a Q tip and alcohol and put a drop of silicone on the surface. Hopefully it will make it turn out better. I will try number 2 in the morning. I have learned two lessons. #1 do not be in a hurry to get it done. #2 when doing a large project with delicate areas that can trap air, make up a small amount of silicone and brush it on, let it cure then proceed with boxing it up to make the mold! I really wanted to recast these sidepipes for my TA project, so they need to look good! Other than that flaw the body is perfect, the flash is thin and pops out easily. She's a beauty ;D |

That body turned out really good. The repair to the sidepipe did the trick! That Mustang might look really cool painted dark green like the Bullitt car! Nice work. Dan
