* Please note that the spirit of this rule is to prevent poor machining from being hidden by paint. As a result, parts may not be heavily painted or leather-wrapped but clear-coats and detail painting will be allowed. Remember that, as Boyd’s camp put it, “This isn’t a decorating competition.” The focus should stay on innovative design and quality machining.
