Re: My new project.........
Wow Jason kind words indeed, thank you so much! I know a racing car is not everyone's cup of tea but I hope people have been
interested as we've gone along together, and hopefully at the same time it might have been informative in some ways and perhaps
helped others with ideas for their projects.
Considering a hot rod for the next build which might be more interesting, if only I could find a decent early shell as a starting point.......

Re: My new project.........
I was closely involved with rallycross back in the mid-1970s, and most cars (including factory-prepped entries) used vinyl for number roundels and the numbers themselves. Complex sponsor's logos (such as the Martini surround to the number disc) were usually screen-printed onto vinyl. This allowed intricate designs to be applied without the need for modern plotter cutters. The main drawback with the screen-printed vinyl is that it didn't wear well, so you had to be careful not to polish it too often. More permanent signwriting was frequently just that: traditional brushed-on enamel. The only time I recall seeing pre-cut masks used was when Dunlop technicians used them to apply the yellow lettering to tyres once they were mounted on a rim.Nige wrote:I'd imagine it's the cutting technology of vinyl that would have been lacking back then, plotter cutters are relatively cheap these days and were probably not available back then along with large format printing.Mike wrote:Certainly last minute additions to cars at the circuit could well have been painted, roundels and race numbers where routinely painted on back in thesladey wrote:Were the original painted on or were they decals?
60's but sure about 70's, be interesting to know what the vinyl technology was back then.
As for this car, it's all in paint cos I like it!
Fantastic car...

Re: My new project.........
It was a great moment when the masking was pulled off to reveal the first door in all it's glory! Jason is just cleaning up the
edges, then a couple of touch up's to be done and it's ready for lacquer.
I love the way it goes around the leading edge, where no one will see it behind the door gap.

Re: My new project.........
It's amazing that all the times I've seen Martini-logo'd Porsches over the years I never (consciously) noticed the surround was a belt/strap until your recent postings ...

Re: My new project.........
Thanks Andy, yes the 'Martini Belt' is a pretty iconic piece of art work, but again with all this stuff like the logo's, stripe colours and so on
there are various versions, I've seen 3 different types of belt buckle for instance!
So Mandy the artist took all the best aspects of all the pictures we could find and this is 'our' version, just hope people like.

Re: My new project.........
Last one from the body for the time being, the blue of RACING is picked out from the light blue of the stripes,
but without the dark blue alongside looks completely different. A beautiful french powder blue, happy with that!
More of the tremendous work of Jason and Lee at 'Unit 24' shortly, but in the meantime it's back on the engine
dyno at Neil's as we test the new RSR racing injection pump, should be good for some more horsepower.......

Re: My new project.........
Mike, standard of paintwork is exceptional, looks great.
What is your rsr spec pump based on?
Finishing line is in sight.

Re: My new project.........
Hi Dougie, still engine oil circulating as opposed to a sealed unit, but now to full racing RSR spec complete
with cold start lever through the new central casing, the right barometric air canister and the red oil filler
knob is the right colour and in the right position at last!

Fantastic work and yet another item of wonder that could be framed and hung on a wall in the Tate
Interested to know what the reasoning was behind the factory RSR pump being a sealed unit - presumably more than just weight?
Thx

Are you expecting any changes to power / torque , fuel delivery etc with the reworking of the pump ?

Re: My new project.........
Hi Martin, all to do with the way the oil performs in the pump effecting the fuel in the elements, the fuelmrg3.6 wrote:Mike wrote:the reasoning was behind the factory RSR pump being a sealed unit
delivery at the top end being incredibly important as we are finding out on the dyno. The oil circulating
with varying oil pressures and surges when part of the engine system was too variable for the elements
to work efficiently apparently.
