More yellow progress…
With a sigh of triumph, doc sent me this pic today. We’re starting to believe the car just might be ready for the first races in a forthnight….
Yellow fever!
Doc’s getting his baby back. Groovy colors! This is actually something of a tradition; most of Doc’s racers have at some point been yellow. His Rawlson & Maguire ones sported the visible tint in the 80s. Fingers itching, the build will start within the next few days. Expect rapid progress!
Pumpkin Mk2 – literally!
