Nice work. I see you've gone the same route as me with a fuel tank recess in the centre. What are your plans for the exhaust?

Go body coloured. I remember when I did mine I was given some "over paintable under seal" and it was black Shultz! Spent hours on my back with a bowl of petrol taking it all back off!

It looks good when it's fresh but after a while it picks up all the dirt and looks dirty. Depends on the look you're after I guess.

What size joints are those? They look a little small? I was advised 5/8 minimum when I built mine.

White gets my vote too..
I'd do it white, then get it wrapped if you want something different or a bit 'out there'. Then you can take it off if you get bored.
