Tim Comeau Posted January 22, 2005 Posted January 22, 2005 Hey racers! Take a second and go to this page to see some great looking 944 race cars. Sean Steele is getting his new 944 painted bright orange this weekend. I just had a set of phonies painted gold for my red car with its gold trim. They look fantastic and should look professionally bitchin' on the car! http://www.aporschapart.com/944Challenge/CarsDrivers.htm Quote
uberklasse Posted January 22, 2005 Posted January 22, 2005 I think I am going to go with Gulf Blue/Orange combo for the car I am building....hope sean's orange is Flourescent!! Quote
Spec-944#70 Posted January 22, 2005 Posted January 22, 2005 I too am contemeplating a revised look for my car! Depends on how much extra money my motor requires. Quote
Packfill Posted January 22, 2005 Posted January 22, 2005 I have no more money!!! I will be Beautiful, primer charcoal grey this year..... Quote
PeanutinCA Posted January 22, 2005 Posted January 22, 2005 Jim, get the $200 Earl Schieb, that's what I got!!! P.Dilly.Yellow. Quote
Tim Comeau Posted January 23, 2005 Author Posted January 23, 2005 I think the gulf color scheme may have been done before. Why don't you go with something more modern. Like,...........flames? Sheeesh! Come up with something original. Vinyl is pretty cheap compared to paint. Please, no more frickin' polka dots. Look at the Aussie cars. Some of them are simple 3 color cars, but cool as hell. Eric, I could take or leave the diamond plate thing, but please keep that really neat shade of blue! Quote
uberklasse Posted January 23, 2005 Posted January 23, 2005 No gulf blue and orange! found one of my old Porsche Hot Wheels cars when cleaning up the garage....going to stay with the German Flag Colors and those of the dealership (Uberklasse) Car will be repainted silver and then I will do the 3 color graphics in red, black and yellow. It will look a lot like my black car now except have a silver base. The wave-like pattern will go down both side from fender to rear and then I will put the Uberklasse logo on the hood. Quote
944-Spec#94 Posted January 23, 2005 Posted January 23, 2005 Jim, get the $200 Earl Schieb, that's what I got!!! P.Dilly.Yellow. I got the $5 K-mart spray can special! Quote
Tim Comeau Posted January 23, 2005 Author Posted January 23, 2005 Ahhh...the old rattle can of spray paint.......Now that's cheap racing. Quote
PeanutinCA Posted January 24, 2005 Posted January 24, 2005 Yeah I did that too, covered the old landlords car with spray mist. Was blowing out white snot for days! but another option. Except for the RSI of the hands and forearm! P.Dilly. Quote
Steven Rea Posted January 25, 2005 Posted January 25, 2005 For Race Paint, get in touch with Sean at Autobahn. He also distributes Endura, which is very high quality industrial paint that is made to withstand brutally tough situations...perfect for race cars. He also has a couple people who know how to shoot it well, so he could really help you out if considering painting. Steve Quote
Tim Comeau Posted January 25, 2005 Author Posted January 25, 2005 Got Endura on my wheels! We'll see how it holds up to brake dust, impact gun, etc. Quote
autobahn Posted January 27, 2005 Posted January 27, 2005 Well... now all I need to do is bolt a bunch of parts on it and she will be ready. Questions, 1. Quick release steering hub? What brand and from who? 2. Paragon for all the suspension? I have the sway bars. 3. Brake pads... hawks? http://www.autobahnparts.com/parts/944racecar0.jpg http://www.autobahnparts.com/parts/944racecar1.jpg http://www.autobahnparts.com/parts/944racecar2.jpg http://www.autobahnparts.com/parts/944racecar3.JPG Sean Autobah n Dismantling inc.

Bill Addy Posted January 28, 2005 Posted January 28, 2005 Car looks great ...I do however think I see a rule infraction cage welds... Quote
Tim Comeau Posted January 28, 2005 Author Posted January 28, 2005 Bill, Good eye! If you mean attaching to the body at the A & B pillars, that's legal for 2005. It was judged to be much more beneficial from a safety standpoint than a performance advantage that would add cost to the cars. It is optional. It's also legal in the POC rules. Quote
autobahn Posted January 28, 2005 Posted January 28, 2005 I am just glad you did not notice the turbo motor!! Quote
