Looks close to the WRX STi blue on my computer; in any case, looks terrific.

$350 for sandblasting and just $700 to powdercoat. Remember it took two layers, first the candy which powders on flat, then the whole thing gets cleared. Wanna see my paint scheme?

Just picture the black being the blue and the wheels are orange instead of white. Plus different logos of course with the main sponsor being CHENEY CONSTRUCTION

Most definitely!!!!!!!!!! COM and open track events. I hope to have 1/3rd of what I put into my GTMs into it plus I will be in a car that my head, with my helmet on, will be inches below the roll bar, not bent sideways in the drivers seat against the roof inches below the bar. Right now I'm into it about 18K and thats with that better motor and tranny and street wheels and tires. All that's mainly left money wise is paint job, race tires and wheels and seatbelts.

You really can't beat that package. It will be great to see you at the track. With John, Jim, Pat, You and I we will have a nice contingent of factory five cars at any NASA event.
