First peek at my new H281

Here are all three of the Grabber Orange GTs awaiting conversion.

Mine is the one in front, missing just a few things.

Thanks, this waiting will drive me crazy.

(Also looks like there may be an interested buyer for my SA20)

Yep, that's my current car at PAS for consignment sale...
(Seems to look even better now that it's not in my garage.)

Chuck isn't your SA20 the only auto one?

Edson--Yep, got a few ideas along that same thought.
It's the perfect car for my "friends at turn 13."

Doug--You're correct, of the 10, it's the only one with auto trany of the group.
PAS plans on prominently displaying it during their big annual open house next month, if it
hasn't sold by then.

Chris, if there was room........

The stripes go on once it really gets to the production line.
Mine seems to have had an early start then stop as the new front
end wasn't yet painted.
Hope to know more about it's status on Monday.

Well, some of the cars actually got their side stripes several
weeks ago, before any other work was started.
Couldn't remember and (didn't bother to search) if I had posted about
that already here.

So see, you really did ask a very insightful question.

Well I hope it does sell for you and if it doesn't get that sucker on a pedistol with neon lights and dancing girls!

Thanks Doug, I have a lot of trust in the owner for getting the best price.

Okay, the cars have gotten their flat black masks and part of the side stripe:
(Still needs the front and rear facia swapped out.)

Wow, that's pretty cool that you can see your car being put together in stages.

One still has the front off, you can just see a peek of it in the bottom left
corner of the first photo. I think that one is actually mine. Total run of Grabber Orange H281s is now at 6.
I've seemed to have started something.

Also just got my bumper number, someday I'll be cruisin' in #44.
