Hope it strips OK for you Reggie, it leaves in the AM, and ill
put it on priority for you, i kinda pondered it to be Pactra used on it, whatever it is, its a very thin paint job!

I'm getting a painted and very slighty used shell in return, which (if I'm careful and lucky will strip out ok and not haze or crack and can then be repainted for an original shell on my replica..........so I do have my motives too :lol: :lol: mine's just more of a gamble :wink:
What you going to use Reggie, Dot 3???

Had a nice score recently on this. Managed to bag a good selection of NIP parts ay silly money, so im starting to get my spares back up together, annnnnndddd, tracked down a NIP pair of ZD434 hubs too, so i now have OE hubs fitted.....niiiiccceee!
Ill update soon once i get the new shell, and throw paint on it, scored a nice almost new 410 Novak, with a decal sheet too, whoop whoop!

Oh and, Alex B, he rules just a bit, assisted me in some new front AE shafts for my dampers (they were BENT) thanks Alex, really appreciated buddy!

Thanks Rich, its been a journey and a bit of a treasure hunt, but its slowly coming to fruition now.
Just awaiting that shell, itll be here soon i hope, and i can begin to decal it up, bagged some lovely vintage Novak Decals to throw it back some too lol.
Ive got a spares back up forming nicely too now, still not keen to race it lol, thats would be nuts, but itll still get some light use on asphalt........that was planned from the off.
