That's a bit of a personal question for the Internet, isn't it?

Good news, Tricky.. good news!

No, no date yet - I guess that makes me desperate and dateless.

Might have to go to a B&S..........................................

You should put your heart & soul into everything you do.

Is that because I am easily forgotten Matt - Crikey I must have made a good impression then!!!

Still no date from the painter (and so the story continues...........................)

I know an awesome painter in Sydney, the way things are heading it might almost be worth the drive down...

So how did you manage to piss off every spray painter in Qld?
I have only managed one or two but you have got the lot.

I've just spent the last couple of hours going through every page in this whole thread (something I'd not taken the time to do).

Un-frikken-believable! Tricky you're not only a mad man, but also a genuis in your visions and fabrication skills!
Makes all the little mods here and there on my car look like childs play!

One question having been through the lot though: where does the battery go when the car is done?

I believe it's 2 dry cell batterys in the rear pockets. The boot is taken up by important things like fuel tanks and intercooler sprayers.
And it's incredible how well everything has been planned out.

and how many great ideas we can borrow (steal ?) from Tricky in the process

Dicko

Oh you guys are just unbelievable!!

I love you all (in a brotherly, platonic kind of way).

Feel free to borrow any idea you want - that is why forums like this are so good (God bless you Poeee)

I am still hopeful the spray painter will be true to his word and get to mine in the next couple of weeks. The reason why its treated like a hoe with aids is that the paint job is so complicated. I am not letting anything out of the bag, but when its painted it gonna knock your f*^ken socks off (and every other piece of clothing on your body)!

Dont lose faith, stay tuned.

Cheers,
Tricky
