Here's the back end.

Wonderful attention to detail. Initially, in the first picture of the front end, I saw the rear shocks lying down and said to myself "that will be an interesting set up". Alas it turns out that the shocks/springs are in the standard position. Still nice with the green with black accents. Will the body be the same green color ?
Keep up the good work.

That is what I was wondering also John. The green and black are great. Hmmm, black with green scallops?

Great work, Bob!I'm also curious about the body color . . .

 

[T-Bucket Bob]

Body color is gonna be same...Geeko Green and I was gonna do vinyl ghost flames.

Oh! So a Gecko has been helping you, not a Frog. Well, keep them busy and see if the car can be finished by CHRISTMAS.
At least drivable.

Best wishes, John

P.S. When I worked on Porsches that color was know among mechs & bodymen as Slime Green.

P.P.S. Apply the vinyl after you have painted the body and mounted it. Maybe after the car is up and running.

Here's another picture with tires and head light posts.

I was going to guess Zinc Chromate primer like we used on helicopters. Whenever we changer a tailboom on a Huey we always flew it like that a few days just to piss of the battalion commander. Sometimes we would get a radio message for all to hear saying "Tell that gunship crew to get that aircraft painted if they want to keep it!" I doubt we would have been fired as we were always short of crews and aircraft but we enjoyed it.
