Rebuilding of a 94 Team Yo Eddy!

YoKris · January 20th, 2008, 5:37 AM

Hey guys...

It took me more than 1 1/2 years coming so far. This is my childhood dream!

Bought this 1 1/2 year ago. Horrible outer condition!

My biggest issue - decals & paint-job! Thanks a bomb Rody for the decals!!! But where the hell finding somebody who could do my fav paint-job - Chameleon Metallica!?! But the key to happiness has been so close. My dad owns a varnish company and his best application engineer has huge skills reprising nonstandard paint-jobs.

And after seeing the result and some discussions with my dad we're thinking of reprising as much Fat Colors as possible - better said the diverse base, clear and metallic coats! So far Team Violet already done.

And therefore I've searched the web for the fat catalogs and got all except the 91, 93 & 97! Maybe some of you could do me a huge favour and give me a mail with the pdf-files of those catalogs!!

Thanks in advance!

Today, the decals are going to be sticked on the frame! Cross your fingers!

You can find more pics here!

cheers
Chris

Intermediate result!

Chris, nice job! my 93 catalog lists 4 colors, Leslie's Purple, Black, Metallic Teal, and Kandy Wild Cherry. I'm sure there were others but that's all were listed. As far as the paint goes my understanding is that they were base coat/clear coat colors and they came from "House of Kolor", this was from the guys at the factory when I got a jar of touch up for my 91 Yo.

have fun,
Karl
