I know there was blue green and pink was that it or were there others? I am building a vintage racer out of a stealth drilled a pan using new rpm arms and rere parts to essentially make it brand new and want to have a chasis powdercoated and was curious of all the colors... I have a pretty nice purple body on the car now and was thinking green but maybe if there was another color avaliable back then that trips my fancy i might reconsider the green also any tips on preping for powder coat? Strip the anno? Glass bead?

:/ hmmm green it is i guess lol i guess on an unrelated note i am going to mill the chassis like a worlds one and i guess use rere worlds towers do you know if the rere ones are the same as the originals and use .71's front and 1.32 rear i know the rere worlds has .89's on the front did they make the tower longer or just add more droop to the car?

.89's are a misprint, the towers should be dimensionally the same

Not sure about the material but they look the same and the re-re actually uses .71 fronts as there was a typo in the manual I believe.

After searching around, the pattern I'm seeing is the green and pink are the two popular colors and red and yellow are the 2nd popular, and the blue I saw, I couldn't tell if it was a nice anodizing or a dark powder coating.

Is that the trend or am I missing something?

They are all florescent colors, correct?

Were the motor/transmission plate included with the powder coated pan and nose plate?
And I assume that it was also powder coated the same color.

Yes, they're fluorescent.

Motor plates were not powder coated.
