Welcome to the site, nice project you have on your hands, and if you dont mind me asking, do you race your locost and how much it cost to make all in?

[welderman]

Fristly thanks for the welcome.
No it's on the crane so i could paint the bottom with a two pack primer, it was very thick. Too lazy to get on the floor to do it.
MK Indy Blade cost about 5k to build.

That beautiful car only cost 5k??? Mmmmmmm. I'm liking that!

Welcome to the site

I'd just like to say that is the nicest cheaply built sevenesque car I've ever seen!!!

If your mini turns out anything like that it'll be a beauty!! :grin:

Are you doing your own build bike engine or a z-cars kit?

[welderman]

Thanks for the remarks on the kit car, the Mini project is my own style. So don't know how good it will fair against the Zcars kit. But should work out cheaper, then hopefully i will gain more knowledge for the next one. :cheese:

[Jammy]

Is that an average cost of a Indy Blade? Or were you some how able to do it cheaper? I've always wanted to do a Cobra, but that looks awesome, may have to change my mind!
