I'm still thinking purple with asymmetrical gold racing stripes, but that might change again.
Cardboard cutouts of the side panels I need have gone to the metal shop. I'm going to prototype some 3d models on the printer at work and see what various shapes look like before doing the final cuts in metal for the rear section.
While that's going on I've got to get the front cowling figured out, which is what led to the video...
