That is looking good. Should look killer all lowered w/ a race theme.
For racing colors I'd just say go with something bright. Cool thing to do, is pick a sponser, and mimic their colors.

I didn't even think about the sponser idea. Might have to try it. I was thinking along the lines of orange or red with white stripes or maybe reverse.

I have planned to do that from the get-go. Right now, I'm working on the body work. The drop will be done on the chassis with tab lowering.

Here is where I'm at so far...
I stuck the body on a chassis I already had dropped. I will do a wheel mod to this chassis. I went ahead and painted it to see what needs fixin. I will shave off a little of the side skirts and try to contour them more. I removed the hood intake, because someone had stated that Skylines don't use hood scoops, and all the pics I reveiwed did not show any.

I used two sheets of .030 styrene, cut the skirts to shape and stacked two pieces to get the tickness I wanted. Now that I think about it, I may add a third to get closer to the ground. I can't lower the front anymore without interfearing with the steering arm.
