Well it has been awhile but I tried my hand at painting again - man I'm not as good as I used to be. Ne to color sand the roof and repaint it - dry streaks in it. Chevy hugger orange on a 79 bmw 320 :D

I'm afraid that people will look too much when I tow it down the freeway - might be as bad as texting....LOL

Need two big sets of MOON eyes!

By the looks if his avatar I'm going to guess he is.

Color looks great to me and they will definitely see you coming!

This is the same type of BMW as the silver one in my avatar - but with a full tube chassis built into it and a 2.5lt inline six with 10.2 to 1 comp and lots of other goodies to make it live. My son and I do scca, BMWCCA auto-x and then we hope to do track days with it. No plans for wheel to wheel racing as one mishap would side line the car for ever with my budget.

If your interested heres a link to a build thread http://forums.bimmerforums.com/forum/showthread.php?1181657-Not-sure-if-there-is-a-class-for-this-low-budget-Father-Son-Build-79-E21&highlight=father%20son
