    Sorry it may be obvious but just checking.
    Are all black chassis and suspension iron bits being powder coated?

    Agree, but we're talking to death ears. Such a shame.

    But it is just a paint colour and can be rectified in the future.

    Sorry, I'm not in charge of the color. You have to realize an owner has to live with a color he or she likes. There a certain colors I could not live with even though to others those colors would be very appealing. To this owner there a certain colors that don't agree with his psyche as certain color that don't agree with mine. I've had some who have loved the blue on my Dino and others who would never own a blue Ferrari. The opinion has been expressed about it's original color and there are certain of you who would love to see it go back to that color. Unfortunately you don't have to live with that color everyday and the new owner has chosen a color he likes and something he will admire everytime he sees it. So let's drop the original color for now as it is going to be yellow and look stunning upon completion!! I do appreciate everyone's opinions as well as the new owner, but now time to move on.

    The short answer is no. In the past I have used a cast iron paint which is not black but a bit darker than what you see. There very dark color on the cast iron basically comes from a coating of rust.

    I generally like everything on a Dino to be as original as possible but when it comes to paint I think having an original color that suits your taste is the way to go. It is only a coat of paint that the next owner can change back to what was original to the car if he wishes. I am not a fan of white Dinos but some folks think it looks great. Vive la difference!

    The media is a plastic material. After blasting you need to immediately put a etching primer on as rust immediately begins to form.

    They first get etching primer and then satin black on the insides. At least how I do.

    Just incase you thought I was crazy ... note I'm trying to help :), and you've likely fixed this by now, or maybe that is how they are supposed to be (?):

    You are not crazy! I was one washer short so just temporarily put those on. Good spotting, can't get away with anything.

    Due to it being flexible and floppy, trying to achieve a nice outer finish on
    the removable roof panel was an exercise in futility. We stiffened the structure
    with an additional layer of fiberglass cloth and mat layed up with structural
    epoxy. This was the message from Brad at Speedzone who is doing the the paint etc. and doing a fantastic job.
