Re: 1960s Cox GTM resto project
We have some speedwell blue! Very please with the result, should look even better with black wheels and black number plates. The plan is to fit a big fat stripe or two in either OEW or black, might even fit some door circles and some Castrol etc. stickers...

It looks really hood Andy yourself, dad and the Wrights boys have done the car proud
Why not ask here what others think about what colour the stripe should be..
My vote is for black, off set on the passenger side to contrast with the blue and some Block roundel’s
If you go for stripes on the center line, make them WIDE.
Either way whatever you decide, I can’t wait to see it finished in the new year

Re: 1960s Cox GTM resto project
please no orange on it, white will do the job perfectly if you choose for stripes.

Indeed, OEW stripe would be ace, (Orange would be naff )

Oh, and if you go for meatballs, make 'em big. The rule for them as I see it, is they must be at least as big as the door panel (i.e.touching top and bottom edge) or better still, eat into the adjacent panel like the sill.
I don't like the wee ones that look like they are bobbing around looking for a home
God, I used to spend ages laying out decals on prototypes......

Looking great! Nice to see one not in faded orange as well, most I've come across always look a bit worse for ware. Looking forward to seeing more of it.
Of course I know what a dipstick is, you get called something often enough you look it up!

Re: 1960s Cox GTM resto project
Looks fantastic! OEW stripes and stick on number plates with silver digits on a black background will suit it nicely....
The Surf Blue Mk1 is also rather nice!

Re: 1960s Cox GTM resto project
210 mm is a good width for a stripe, it also makes it easy to mock up on the car
