I painted the chassis and a bunch of other pieces tonight. It is a dark charcoal grey with tons of metallic in the color. I think it looks pretty good, but it really doesn't show up in these photos. :roll:

I also moved the body out of the booth and snapped a side view.

Looking good Rapid. I have a couple of questions.
How far out is the motor on this car?
Are the dzus springs on the motor plate mounts for the tin work, or do they hold a piece that the body rests on?
How do you adjust the weight of the weight bar on the front?

Thanks Rocky. The engine is out 65-inches. Our 23T was out 62-inches.

You are correct, the dzus fasteners hold a piece of formed aluminum that the firewall seals against. Good eyes!! 8)

The weight bar is the biggest part hanging closest to the paint room door. It has a gas cap type screw on cap on one end. It slides into the frame rails to mount.
