Car is painted with one quart of Rustoleum Flat black and one quart of Rustoleum Gloss Sunrise Red...mixed them together to get the color I wanted..added some enamal hardener and acetone..sprayed it on in my driveway with my old Binks siphone feed gun...total cost $32.00 for the paint job!!

Total out of pocket expense was $3980 to built this car. I started with no parts other than the 11 gallon fuel tank...everthing else was either swap meet, ebay or stuff purchased off of forums.


Here was the FIRST DRIVE video...nothing special..just a EASY cruise to make sure the car would stop, turn, shift....ect

pay no attention the WHINING sound...that was an electric fuel pump that I got rid off due to the noise!!! I now run a mechanical pump!

You have built what I would call a refined rat. And the wheel/tire combo looks perfect.

It will be a crowd pleaser![cl
