Looking forward to seeing it painted. 

Re: Project Build - Elise GT: Honda Swap / Widebody Conversi
The new paint color will be from the 2003 Honda Gold Wing called Yellow Hotrod Pearl (three part paint process). The color is absolutely stunning and will contrast the subtle curves well in the sunlight (which my previous flat-primer photos fail to capture). Here are some photos of a local AC Cobra painted the same color.

Just read the build from start to finish. Awesome Job
Will be great to see painted and finished.

Lovely colour Ken, but then I am biased, however a shame about the "pimp me" wheels on the Cobra.

I've been reading your posts for some time, can't wait to see the finished product, looks fantastic.

Love that yellow paint. Not a fan of that Cobra though. Looks like it crashed into Halfords.

Thank you. Just got back from holiday and I'm still on island time. I need to get busy this weekend and finish up the grille-work prior to delivery to the paint shop. They will finish sand and primer and then I will store the parts in my heated garage for 3-4 weeks while the primer fully cures and contracts... then back for final finish.

While I had to wait in line to get the car in the paint shop, it's finally going! 14 months since the sun last shown on it.
