The pictures of it sitting on the trestles and the back of the international truck on page 1 of the thread are as it is now, painted dark green, a standard ford colour but a british racing green colour. The colour has probably not scanned so well as it looks blue on the trestle photo. I got it painted that colour only because that is the colour it was painted when Neil Doyle owned it and I liked it that colour better than the two tone blue/white when Alec Dickie owned it. I particularly like the shot above though as it looks mean. It has small wheel spats not disimilar to the ones seen on minis on the back, these are formed from metal with bodyfiller finishing the contoured shape. The front is formed from aluminium and flared slightly but as you say the wheels are barely covered and on several shots seem to stick out a bit. The wheels were 13" diameter, 12" wide on the rear and 10" wide on the front. I also like the strengthening gussets on the wheels in the photo above that give a mag wheel effect. I will fit these on the rims when I get some, I'm looking for one piece steel rims if I can find them, that will give the authorities less to moan about. I know the gussets will make them heavy as hell but that doesn't worry me, and seeing that I've already hand made them and it took ages they will be fitted.
