For the curious, that would be this yellow....

I think it looks great without the rear bumper.

That is going to be the color that it will be painted. I don't know the color name I will have to figure it out...but I think I will have time

I will post some profile images soon. I have it on the lift right now so the column is in the way.

Good luck and put pic's up when you are all done. Looking forward to seeing the end result.

If you get rid of the rear bumper, which I think will look great, are you going to paint the front bumper yellow so it doesn't stand out?

This is going to be a great thread,
Thanks and have fun

Will a chrome front bumper from an Urraco fit?

From what I can see: it's going to look great.
Are you having any engine/clutch issues?

Nope. A couple minor leaks but that is all.

Okay so there has been a bit more progress. I will eventually take off the black intake so that the entire quarter can be prepped. I am debating on whether to paint the intakes and engine bonnet yellow to match or if I should leave it black. Opinions?? Here are a couple more pictures. You can see that the flames are thick and the pin stripping is thicker?!?!?!
