I like the look but as you can see i'm partial to the color.After painting the body in yellow I thought I would go the whole hog and try the chassis in Yellow.

So does it look fat. Remember I hold the strings to everything you do. heard that before.... haven't you.

Went it comes to colour, to each his own, you are the one that has to clean it and look at it everyday, all that road dirt - oil and grime, I myself hate to see it, but I hate to clean it even more-so.. But, when you have your own Bum, you can have him clean it... hehe :foottap:
The really nice thing I like about you chosing yellow is that it will really show off the
engineering that went into your car. Yellow is a very photogenic color. Easy to take detail shots of. You just know this car is going to get some ink in a mag sometime soon. The judges will like it too!!

Gerry, anything you do meets with my approval. You are a premier builder in my book.
I did vote for the red, but the yellow shows off your unique and well executed designs well.
Let's see, my car is a year from being finished and yet I have this tiny grouping of little grey cells that tells me some mag would be interested in featuring my car someday. Oh the arrogance - me thinking my car might be worthy of a some mag shots. Frankly, I don't see where being featured in a magazine would enhance the quality of my life unless I were in the trade. I'm not. I do have a coule of ideas for new rodding products and were I to pursue those ideas I might welcome some good press. However, I'm sure no high end builder. I am as usual, a tad suspicious that being featured as a player in the trade as I think it means you can get your car or product or business featured if you play ball with the magazine with donations or contributions or just good old Chicago politics. I think I see this on more than a few of the pages of Street Rodder. Magazines make money featuring cars that they have paid nothng to get. Car owners should be paid to have their cars featured. The same goes for car shows. Promoters should pay you to display your car - afterall they're charging others to look at it.
Gents, you're great listeners and Gerry, my apoligies, I hope I haven't blown your thread too far off course.
Having spent a lot of time in Canada and a little time in England, I knew about the bum. Shall we tell'em about tickets, lollies, bickies and poofters?
I'm not sure of this, but I think in the fine print somwwhere in entry forms for organizations like HSRA or Good Guys or ??, is wording to the effect you forego your rights regarding the use of photos taken of your car. I think those rights are claimed by the event sponsor or arganization and they are free to sell them or use them in adverstsing. I do recall something to that effect on a NHRA National event entry some yeras back.
Obviously, if you're in a show or event, you can't prevent spectators from taking pix. One of the reasons youi're there is to show off your car.
There has to be some disclaimer that allows photos of your car to be published as there is a potential liability for doing so without your consent especially if it shows your license number that can be easily read.
If the mood strikes, someone might look into this and advise. Or, ask your association, be it NSRA or Good Guys or ??
You shouldn't have to do my homework for me but this week I'm really busy..... How busy are you? Man. I busier than a pair of jumper cables at a Puerto Rican wedding.

Gerry, As you can see in many places my car likeness is used, whether it is a photo or a black silhouette, like here.. :winkn: But I never did copy protect it... stupid on my part, heck speedway also used pics of it in their cat, plus chassis pics... Live and BITCH! hehe PS, they say copying is a form of flattery, but that will not put any bucks in your pocket... Even the Block hugger headers which I came up with while managing AA years back, were taken and made by almost every header Co. around... They only cost $13 in the box, plated, back then, and sold for $99 and MORE!
