Hey Sandaro.

Yes you are correct, i should have painted it a long time ago...but my paint man (and myself) got a bit lost along the way. So while i couldn't lock him down to paint i decided to push on and get everything else finished. So essentially yes, this is partly a mock up...but not too much. So my forward plan over the next few months is kind of like this...

Finish the drive train, turn it on, run the cam in and make sure everything is ok.
Shut it down, rip the drive train out and get it painted (black is my choice for the engine)
Paint the firewall while the engine is out (colour is now selected)
Put the engine back in so its a runner
Paint the rest of the body and panels
Install a massive out of control stereo
Trim it out

Happy to share the colour here. I want Tropical Green Candy Base Coat with a white ground coat...the one on the left of the pic.
