We used to think that green M&M's were special, is that the same with DSR's?
Some moving blankets kept the bodywork from getting nicked in the trailer.
Beginning reassembly.
It's starting to look really good.
The color is reminiscent of Kawasaki green, which is fitting considering our KZ powerplant.
We got our LeGrand bodywork back from the paint shop yesterday morning. The original estimate for the job was about $300 including tax, but this figure soon ballooned to $450. Why? Two reasons: We discovered a few small cracks in the wheel wells, and the shop found out our color choice.
The cracks took a few hours to fix, adding about a hundred bucks to the deal. Meanwhile, we chose to paint the car in Porsche Signal Green, a color that was made famous by the Carrera RS from early 1970s. The color choice required that the shop first paint the entire car white so that the color would come out in its correct hue.
It was worth it. The Signal Green absolutely pops, and the car looks stunning with its new paint.
Once we trailered the bodywork back from the shop, we started reassembly by laying the front and rear sections down onto the chassis. It’s looking really good.

Does Stig have a Corona? or did you leave yours in his tray?
Bud Light with Lime. It's a soft drink, like Sprite. I should probably move those before I take pictures.
Boy, you must have worked late on Saturday to get it ready for Palm Bay on Sunday. It looks terrific!
You should put some sort of livery on it to make it a little more interesting. Maybe some Martini-esque stripes to match the paint's origin.
With the black GRM and class graphics, in addition to the yet-to-be-applied required stickers, it's going to be 'busy' enough. The Martini design was white with red and blue, right? Back in the day, Signal Green was typically must matched with white or black.
These pictures don't do it justice. More to come.
