You can register using your Google, Facebook, or Twitter account, just click here.I asked Mr Vasallo this question in Portland. I asked if the SMC was solid color or if it would be painted.....he stated they will be paintedChecked my notes from Columbus. Hard to read.
One note says: No paint vats. I think I remember him saying the cars will not be painted.
Next time someone goes to an event, please confirm.
Any additional information about the material planned to be used for the body and wheel skirts? If molded plastic/composite, what type do you think? ABS?
I am starting to pre-pre-plan my custom paint job. We pretty much know the dimensions, so all I need to know is the body material to start talking with my auto-body friends.
I'm curious as to whether SMC can be repaired when damaged--somewhat in the same way that fiberglass can be repaired.
It is my understanding that the panels can be repaired however it is faster and cheaper to just replace the panels.
Wow. This is proof that all questions get answered eventually. I asked this question on August 9.
Goofyone, that right rear panel won't be cheap--it's a big one. Well, maybe. I don't know how expensive SMC is.
