Unfortunately will not be running in November as the new paint work is taking longer than expected due to lack of time to work on the car and access to the paint booth. Was thinking of a one day prep then paint but simply did not work out that way. The paint white paint was frying up with the blue paint that the car had when I bought it. All the white paint had to go which took 2 full days of sanding which was not a lot of fun. As it was not going to happen that day we decided to start fixing the huge list of body defects before spraying the car. Kind of a blessing in disguise as there turned out to be a lot of problems and a great chance to make a few little tweaks here and there. This Saturday should have the car in high fill primer ready to be blocked back the following week then the new paint will be done. Anthony Ho is organizing the new decals for the car which will set it off. 
Sadly the blue/silver/white will be no more. i will certainly miss it but I expect the new paint will make up for it. 
The tune will be done a week after then hopefully make it to the track before the end of the year. If not, no big deal as I will be all ready for 2021 as long as nothing blows up again.

Exactly right Glenn. Was only talking with Mike about how everything on there ended up in the ether. mr2australia.com will be on the car. Sure you will like its new location.

So one step closer to the new look. Had the blue and white for 10 years so do hope I see a lot more track work over the next ten years!
We could have spent a few more days in preparing but we had to reach a cut off point as you can just go on and on finding problems. Its still far from perfect but its a lot better than what it was with the roof now finished off so it looks pretty close to a hardtop even though its a T top but did not take the time to remove then reset the targa top insert as time is not on our side. So there is a bump in the middle of the roof but we will manage. 
Yesterday was a 10 hour day for 3 people final prepping the car for hi fill primer. Next week we block it back then start throwing some of the colour on the car. 
Tuner is all ok with a booking right up until 23rd of Dec so even if we don't get to the track, the car will be 100% ready for 2021 (as long as something does not detonate as it often does..).

I've heard if you paint it Hemi Orange, some of the muscle car crews legitimise it.

It's DNA is actually a Red SW. there are are few traces of it on the car. You can see it in the paint prep so will be as quick as Glen. Hopefully the fibreglass doors will see the car dip below 1000kg. Can only hope!
