    Cage is finshed and the chassis work is almost done.

    WHY Skyline?

    Helmet + paint question

    i do custom paint, as long as the painter uses a compatible paint it will not effect it. all automotive and airbrush paints are compatible with fiberglass helmets. carbon fiber helmets require a low voc paint such as a waterbased paint for the contact layer(first two coats)

    My supra was hit today.. yup. (PICS)

    it is easily fixable, buy it back and have the bodywork done, that qtr is salvagable, with a used door it would not cost more than a couple grand to fix
