ok, so heres some quick pics i took. the paint came out great. i let the paint bake in front of the torpedo heater for 20 min, and comes out with a good gloss. :wink: i threw up my 86 se50 engine (on the left) to give a comparison of the 85 nb50 im buildin. i also had to condense the scooters to the bed of the ElCamino to make some room lol. 1 and a half car garage just dont cut it. my 84 is behind the ElCamino. anywho, ill keep postin as i go. :wink:

Not a fan of all red engines but I like how its tuning out. Methinks red block with black shroud and polished belt cover looks best.
