Any of you guys got a hook up on cardboard for modeling. You know, that single ply semi rigid stuff you use before going to harder stuff like wood. I'm gonna start mocking up the dash panel and gauge cluster.

I have a thin piece of aluminm that I'll bring you tomorrow when I come by that you can use. I don't remember what the thickness is but it is what the NHRA required as a minimum for my rear deck and back. I also used it to make my door panels and instrument panel.

Great. If you have a current NHRA rule book bring it too and we'll ponder a few questions. At present I'm thinking to use Carbon Fiber for the instrument panel, roof cutout and a diffuser under the bumper.

I do not have one. I got the spec from the Tech guy at Fontana when he told me I had to install one for the N2O.

No sweat. What time you thinking to roll by? I'm basically here all day.

Not sure. It depends on how busy work is. I'll give you a call before I head out of here.

If it makes any difference, noonish to mid/late afternoon is slightly preferable for me (cuz I be sleep'n in) but heading back out to Fontana in traffic would be Satanic for you. So, as you please.

I have been thinking about this idea for a while now. I love it even more than when it was in my head. Designed with the current trend of reviving style and designs of yesteryear with a modern twist on it. Perfect for the project of old American with new"er" import car. What do you guys think?



I am going to go to bed now!

Thanks for your hard work.

The following is more along the lines of my thoughts/intention:

Where you have the "RX-SNAKE" insert the logo above the line, indentation, whatever you call that.

On the door, over the line insert Motorgen.com (the font we use) in candy orange.

Try some kind of dark grey / black snake skin pattern in the line/indentation

Give a blue pearl flavor to the white, if possible. (I'm pretty much settled on putting glow in the dark pigment in the blue pearl ).

Make the sun roof section carbon fiber.

The mirrors black.

Blend out the light flaps.
