I know by looking under your 3rd gen hood that you are not scared of radical colors.

Let me think about that. I might do something boring like flat or sating black.

When do you need to know by??

I have kind of envisioned raw metal look for the strut brace. I understand that is not as easy as it sounds. If you have any ideas to accomplish that let me know. If it is not doable powder coating is fine. Does aluminum provide enough rigidity for a brace? Remember, it is not really a race car...it just thinks it is.

By the way, since I didn't mention... That radiator, oil cooler, condenser set up is brilliant. It is absolutely beautiful and looks like it was designed by Mazda that way. Great Work!!

Gold and red are sexy Keep in mind on the lower subframe, it will only be seen when you put the car on the lift or look under it. Black is too boring for that part lol. But I will powder-coat it black if you wish. We can do red too? On the strut brace.... I like the idea of raw metal. I will have to make it all out of stainless steel, or aluminum. Hmmm... not a problem. Aluminum will be strong, just will need to be made thicker, might take up more space. Have to check out stainless tubing see what sizes I can get. Thanks Chris, I am happy you are liking it! Trying to build the trickest stuff to help make up for taking so long!!
