Those Dutchboys...

We all are very excited about the new car. As always Mark and Matt have stepped it up again. This car is bound to be the best one yet. We also have a cool paint sceme coming together. I'm sure Mark will share as we get a little closer to paint!

With help from Joe and Paul we mocked up some graphics that was doable. Then I had Murray Pfaff take the concept to a rendering. We are getting close on a final design and color. Mainly we are running out of time so the plan is coming together..

I will post a teaser later this week.

Working with the DutchBoys is always a pleasure!

My fenders have fingerprints under the clear coat that you can see in the sun, along with a few specs of debris here and there. Not sure how Mark's parts are. Not trying to throw Anvil under the bus, I will still buy more from them and am planning on it, just not leaving them exposed.

I'm pretty sure carbon isn't as straight as people would like it to be because it is hand laid. Therefore, imperfections exist. Although, due to it being very pricey, many people expect it to be perfect aesthetically.

If the mold surface is straight then the parts that come off the mold are straight. Not sure what process they use but if its vacuum bagged and put into an autoclave the parts should be real good.
