Ahh so you are who picked up this shell. I was eyeing this thing up on tuners and was sad to see the shell was sold lol. Glad it went to a good home

White calipers on a race car??? Please tell me you’re joking.

Looks like a nice clean shell to start a race car build though.

Lol - not a joke. I always wanted white on white. And for the 3 times a year I'll probably get to race this car Ill handle the cleaning.

As for the shell looks good from a distance, there are some flaws I'm going to address before starting the build.

Not just cleaning brake dust, but I don’t think the paint will stay white under racing conditions/temps. I guess three times a year isn’t much though, it may not fade that much. Just warning you even the stock red paint can fade dark with racing miles.

As for the ‘nice from far’ look, that’s what a race car is all about haha. As least cosmetically, I guess if there are structure issues or rust etc that’s a different story. Looking forward to seeing it complete and on the track though, hope you have fun with the build.
