Hello Spencer,
Looking very nice indeed my friend and completely unique!! Makes you wish that McLaren were still sponsored by Marlboro - it was a black day for me when they went over to the black and silver 'West' sponsorship!!
Keep up the good work Spencer, following with great interest!!
P.S. - Out of interest and sorry to go a little off topic, but was your 'Zero' MP/4 Red delivered by Royal Mail or courier company? I only ask because of the recent farcical decision by RM to not accept things like paint anymore and I know Hiroboy used RM for my MP/4 Red when I ordered it a few months back?

Thanks for that Spencer and glad to hear that the experience with the courier company was far better than the RM could ever hope to achieve!! IMHO if RM want to make things awkward for its' supposed customers and put loads of clauses on their services then good riddance to bad (and d*mn expensive!) rubbish - I won't be using them unless there's no alternative!!

That is going to look superb when it's finished - well done mate and thanks for the updates!!
