Along side building the actual car I’ve been building a 3d model. Its allows me to try different colors and detail ideas before actually committing to them. For instance, At first I had a lot more chrome trim around the windows. I thought it was what I wanted but after seeing it in some renders I decided against it. It was too flashy, and took over the car. I wanted the chrome bits to accent the car instead of command it. As for color, well that’s a tough one. So far I’ve been leaning towards the original colour of the car which is called Rallye Red. Why they call it red I don’t know because it’s a lot closer to orange then it is red.

All this time I thought it was Pheonix red. Huh.
LOL, less chrome, more black.

Depending on the market it was also sometimes called Pheonix Red. So you were still right all those years.
Nice to be right once in a while.
I like the idea of getting rid of some of the chrome. I suspect you knew that.
