Custom Resto 71 Dare to be Different

Your bus is such an unusual color. Where did you get the idea?
I once had fresh homemade banana ice cream that was like the desert of The Gods. Your bus makes me crave it fiercely.
I'm glad you backed out of the purple idea for your engine tinware. Your bus is far too elegant for that. But if you're still open to ideas I thought a creamy green banana shade might look nice. Not neon green, not pea soup, but if you have any extra body paint around, just add a few drops of fresh bamboo-green to it for a subtle, organic, complimentary shade.
Then again, maybe it's still just that damn ice cream bangin' round in my head. :

Looking sweet chap. Told you there's nowt to the wiring! )

 

Its not me doing it

 

:laugh2:

 

i scares me all those wires all different colours - not for me

 

It would be a lot harder if all the wires were the same colour

Absolutely loving your work. Wish I had the time to learn some of those metal skills.

One of my race cars got wired like that with numbered rings on it - it was great until the prop snapped cutting the loom in half - metal skills are easy just take your time and think three steps in front -
