Fordguy01 I'll try to answers your questions in the order you ask them below.
1. The color is Tamiya TS Cobalt Green. The paint was recommend by someone on a Facebood page, who built some of the Shampine supermodifieds. In my opinion it is a very good match to the original color of his cars. I have the book on Jim Shampine and if I remember correctly the green paint is from a Dodge pickup color.
2. The botom of the front wing is from the kit. I lengthened the top portion with a thin piece of plastic .6 MM thick.
The sides of the front wing are made from aluminum .2 MM thick. I got some aluminum sheets, of this material, from a guy in a model club I belong to. It's from a local newspaper. It's used in the printing process. This is very thin and has a lot of uses in my opinion.
3. I am using the engine from the kit.
This is the aluminum sheet from the newspaper printer I used for the front wing side panels.The material is aluminum on one side and green on the other side. The aluminum side would be perfect for a sprint car wing that is unpainted. The model frame is just to show the size of the aluminum sheet.Hosted on FotkiHosted on FotkiBob
