Color makes a difference on how well ya can see things when you're in the cockpit.

Putting a fresh coat of yellow house paint on it with a foam brush. New paint brightens it up quite a bit. Compare it to the door. 11 year old grandson, Matt is working on the existing door art. Want to brighten it up a bit. Yellow doesn't cover very good so it will require a second coat. I have some of the black paint glass installers use around windshields. I'll use it around this windshield for a better appearance.

Got out my spray can of polycarbonate window border paint from Jerry Bickel Race Cars and taped off the windshield. This is the result from the outside and the inside. I found Vaseline is a good bead lube for mounting tires by hand. Here's what they look like on the front of the car.

Bit by Bit

I put a blue stripe down the middle of her. Same as chassis color.

Order an alternator and seat belts/shoulder harness. They're about the last items needed.

Put gas in the fuel cell and ran the pump. No leaks.

Ordered some peel and stick wheel weights for the front. I have my own way of balancing wheels on the car. It's a secret.

It must work if you're still doing it.
OK, so what's the secret, out with it

 

[bob w]

OI, if I told you it wouldn't be a secret. Besides, I don't like to get laughed at. Still putting stripes on parts. The alternator and seat belt/harness just arrived. So, back to work.

Without it your dead (get it batt)[cl

It is big, Bob. We happen to know how much measuring and checking clearances it takes to make brackets for anything.
Keep up the good work.
