 We started discussing paint schemes for the car yesterday so I drew out a couple of quick designs for the kids to look at. It was nice because I could show them a couple of examples in color.
 
  
 
  
 
  
 
 
 Although Elise was initially set on the scallops, I think Cade was pretty persuasive in convincing her on the flames. Nothings firm yet, but the final decision will be completely up to the kids.
 
  
 
 Then it was on to the floor. A while back a friend had given me couple 4’X8’ sheets of corrugated aluminum for another project. I’ve never seen this stuff before, it’s about an 1/8” thick and very light and rigid. I had a couple of decent sized pieces left over so that became the material for the floor.
 
  
 
  
 
 It worked out pretty well, we cut the pieces to size, drilled them for nutserts and bolted them in.
 
  
 
   I've NEVER seen a car come from the factory that couldn't be improved.....
