    This black "stealth" thing is sorta funny seein as how most the racers have not got anything I really want to see anyhow. My new car is safety blue just like the 3 before it.

    I like grey, it goes with anything so you don't limit the colors you can use on the body.

    don't go with the neon orange my buddy did a couple of years ago and he hated it after a couple nights of racing it looked dirty all the time and you couldn't color match it.

    I would choose a color thatcan be matched by a spray can because you will eventually need to weld on the chassis or build new nerf bars or nose frames and a rattle can will be the choice for repairs

    I was thinking the same thing. Something that I could find a spray paint to match.

    Most handling problems can be solved by adjusting the screw-ball. It can be difficult to fine tune at times. Explaining yourself loudly and striking it on top of the helmet with a dead blow hammer usually works well.

    The two I liked the best is White and clear... The white looks good with anything but stains easy... the clear was really cool lookin but hard to see cracks in

    Thanks guys for the suggestions I've ended up going with safety blue. And talked with the powder coat guy and he said that you have to clear the neon orange or it would dull and look dirty all the time.

    I would like to see some pics of the frame when its done. I bet that blue is going to look sharp!
