Re: 1966 Gt40 Progress
NIce project!
Love the dash! I'll follow up this tread because the GT40 is one of the cars that I want/don't want to build and this seems to be a thread that will make me decide wich way to go! Please keep posting.

Re: 1966 Gt40 Progress
Great job deatiling the dash. It looks awsome!
My suggestion for the paint would be like silver or black. Definatly go street as well. Keep up the good work!

Silver, black-centered wheels, with the black stripe on the side.

Thanks for the great feedback!! Been away for awhile, got the kids this summer!!!! And no Zoom-Zoom it will not be a rat-rod. I was thinking a chili-pepper red w/ white stripes!!

Re: 1966 Gt40 Progress
Nice beginning ol' dude. If you want to build a real race car you can start by checking out some pics of GT40 in races in 1966 here:
http://www.nvsaac.com/gallery/gt40_1966season.htm I like Dan Gurney's blue Sebring Mk II. I'm mucking about with a Gulf Mk I at the moment. Trouble is the more you look at the kit the more you see that Fujimi got wrong

Yes I did decide on a color!! And I have totally fouled up my project!! Did not test a scrap piece before I painted it!! I used a acrylic lacquer primer, but the midnight black lacquer paint had a reaction to the primer!! Any suggestions would be great!!

Sorry to hear that.
I am still learning so can't help you on this one. I find the table at the bottom of this Tamiya page quite helpful. Painting over the top of different types of paints.
