New livery.

just got it all together so I can run at Grissom tomorrow.

I had the yellow done professionally. I painted everything orange myself with the good paint put into the rattle cans. Today I adjusted the suspension height and made little adjsutments to the body panels so they would fasten on after being repaired and somewhat distorted by the body shop guys. I think the body now is about 5# heavier than before.

With my winter and early spring modifications to reduce weight I am at or very near the minimum weight even with my considerable mass. 1100# ready to race. (or more).

The next cosmetic thing is to paint the suspension stuff black.

The next mechanical thing is to drill my brake rotors to reduce them by 1# each.
