Well, the time for the race is approaching so I thought I would post up pics of the before, during, and after of my gasser. This is the first car I have done pics of through the whole progression

I originally planned on keeping it all orange, but I slipped up with the paint. I didn't have time to do a whole repaint and redo the body work so I was trying to think of another color I could do. I didn't want to do black and it look like a Halloween car, so I settled on satin white. I think I like it better this way anyways.
I also tried fire bluing the exhaust (I've done it before with knives and axes I've made), but I discovered the hard way that diecast doesn't blue, it just melts :drunk:.
Overall, I'm happy with the build and I had a blast working on it!
Thanks for looking :wave:
