Very nice project, coming along nicely, I can't wait to see it finished, I used to work for the company that makes/made the fibre glass panels/seats for the Arial Atom, I was the paint sprayer so I painted the seats, I can't remember the name of the paint I'm affraid [been out of work for a while due to a back injury] but it's quite nice stuff and not bad to work with, if you would like me to get the name/paint code of the paint, let me know and I'll pop down to the factory.

Small world! Yes, that would be great if you could....much appreciated!

Cheers,

I went down to the factory about the paint for the Atom seats, it is called:

WEILBURGER SENOTEX SUPERFINE ONE COAT, DARK GREY.

CODE: 05-4283-440330.

it's a two pack paint so you'll also need:

WEILBURGER HARDENER.

CODE: 19-0306-501105.

Hope that helps.

The new superwide Monte arches look good with the 13 X 10 Image splits as does the roof lip spoiler methinks!

I need to buy my Hoosier racing rubber now...

Stop teasing me Aric Are you using standard pistons and no spacer gasket? Standard busa engine?
The wheels look mint

[Monte Busa]

After I complete the mock-up the engine will be rebuilt using Carillo H beams, forged pistons with lowered compression, ported / flowed heads, and a slight overbore to reduce shrouding of valves, custom ECU with boost control, etc.

I put up those pictures just for you by the way Ian.....need to kick you into gear!

update time??

[Monte Busa]

Yes, I'm certainly overdue for one - currently spending most of my free time on the Mk1 Pro-motive conversion while I wait for some front suspension sorting bits to arrive among a couple of other small items...but I continue to work on some small bits as I get time like integrating tow eyes into the chassis structure (front and rear) and building a seat back brace....

I need to get the bodywork mods (you'll like them, trust me ) going full speed before it starts getting cold again, as glassfibre doesn't like to cure when it's cold, so expect some pictures soon.

update time??
