That IS exciting!! Please show us some pictures when you get it back! What color are you painting her?
Well it was red originally so I've decided to go with gold leaf colours to match the Lotus 72 poster that's been on my wall since I was about 10!!

Great work! Looks familiar. Is the red the Carnival Red or a less orange "Gold Leaf" red? What is the width of the gold stripe and does it have a name?

Beautiful. That's coming along nicely.

She certainly is beautiful, and will be more visible particularly at night than my Black Special....
