Paint looks good.
Wing??? *Weight.. (fragile weight that WILL eventually find the dirt)

you want honest, the silver is far to wide and looks like it was thru at it out of the gallon jug....Then it has the tear effect, blended if that what you want to call it , into solid lines.....Sometimes honesty is a bit cruel, but all is just my opinion.....

One other question, is it 1.25 tube?

I knew someone would comment on the wing... haha there for looks but does provide some down force. *The design is a wider version of a nose wing used on micro sprint cars. *The wing isn't made to withstand a crash of course actually it would absorb some impact. *roll tubes are 1.25 .095 wall, standard for a car of this weight and size. *

The pictures don't do it justice. *Sonny Croughn is one of the worlds best Hot Rod painters and has been on TV for winning many awards at car shows all over the world. *I am building a Trike Dragster to be showcased in a DVD that will be sold across the nation so he agreed to do a fancy paint job for us at a good rate so we push his project through a little faster. *The pictures don't do the paint job justice. *The gray is actually a mixture of several coats of gold, silver, and pearl metallic colors that give the appearance of changing colors as you view it from different angles.

It actually does look like there's a little pearl in the paint. You should take some more pictures. Is that a fiberglass body?

Hey Andy,
Your buggies are crazy fast and handle better than anything out there.Now you've pulled it all together with great body work and paint.It takes guts to be progressive. Keep up the great work.

I'm sure the paint does not get justice from a photo. The bodywork construction is interesting and the videos on you website clearly show the car kicks some tail.

Nice work all the way around. A fully optioned car would cost a pretty penny!
