New Race Support Bus in Progress!

December 11th, 2009

Next season you’ll see a new Race Support Vehicle in the paddocks.. keeping true to our routes it’s going to be an aircooled bus, wearing a stunning orange flip coat (the same as the No68 race car).

Body work

Body work was repaired and replaced.. the donor bus was superb.
Bernie trying to convince an eager team that all you need to restore vehicles is a small yellow tool box, and two hammers.

Initial white base coat on bus

The bus shot in white, after all the body was massaged.. nice straight sides!
What you can’t see is Bernie looking smug saying “I told you so!”

Even more massaging of the panels after filler primer, a hive of activity!

Bus panels in Booth

Door, boot and decklid panels receiving that mad Orange Flip paint (Look at that reflection! all the hard work and effort from all is paying off!) You can just see Stu in the adjacent booth with the bus getting it’s top coat)

Race Bus in Booth

Bus receiving it’s final coats of clear lacquer.. you can see the flip in the pain on the rear quarter panel.

Many thanks to Morelli Paints and of course the CNWL paint and body teams who continue to support our racing series. The bus will be built up over the next few weeks now.. then it’s time for the livery graphics!…
