Stuff my dog says; on second thought I'll just build a race car

Pictures now

Done for the evening, want to get the bars in but no way that is happening tonight. I ended up through bolting the grill for two reasons. Firstly it matches the other panels on the car this way, nothing else is on hidden bolts or back welded studs. Second it's just immensely easier. The nose piece deflects when it's unbolted and there isn't a good way to back mark for studs with everything bolted to the car. It's not really the look I wanted but it makes sense and that's enough.

With the body more or less built conversation at work about the car turned to paint last week. People keep asking if I'm going to paint it, which is amusing because the metal work is absolutely not nice enough to begin to justify leaving it without body filler. I told one of the newer guys my plans for the color (Which haven't changed) and he audibly recoiled.
I put that last picture up on Facebook saying I can't wait to see this in colors other people wouldn't have chosen if it were their car.

What color?
 
Will the "blue nose" scallop, flame, or streak into the white? Inquiring minds want to know!!! :)
The plan has been basic, just a blue nose piece without any special transition then have the suspension arms blue for the accent down the side. Plus the red of the seat and a red roll around the interior opening with a blue roll hoop.

Look up the Pure Oil Novi Indy car. It was white with a dark blue nose and lower section w/ gold pinstripe separating it.. Kinda cool.
I do like that.
