L'Atom Noir!

How cool is this?

The first Atom with a black frame makes this the meanest looking Atom ever:



More pics in the atomclub gallery...

It is lovely but on balance I think I prefer the normal 'scaffolding' chic!

[coot]

Mines black now.......

[Bruce Fielding]

Crikey, Pete!

Was that a major job?

[coot]

Hi Bruce,

Yep, a lot is happening to it, will have lots of pics and details soon ( another car for the hybrid section on the site

Pete.

[Bruce Fielding]

Noooooooooooo!

As Billy Connolly was once told by the artist as he left the tattoo parlour having availed himself of the services therein, "One more of us. One less of them".

[coot]

It doesnt involve scaffolding or anything extreme, just a bit of a change

Qui cette Noire ça c`est fait pour la France et déjà garée devant ta maison Jean –Pascal, et avec l`OK de DRIRE ? Congratulations en tout cas. C`est très jolis.

Photo made in the front of the Ariel factory ("old") building.... with no number plates Hart ....

[Hart]

Please keep me informed about the number plates

That's really nice - although a blob to keep clean I bet.

Still who cares...it looks mint.

Kind of wish I'd gone for that look now on mine....

[Scorewriter]

Really Ross? - Kind of makes it look a little more 'ordinary' (if that's possible) to my eyes...no offence Coot. Still, if we all liked the same things the world would be a boring place!

So that's two black chassis, one yellow one, and apparently there's a red one out there somewhere...

I think that the black chassis looks good with the black panels, but that it would look wrong with coloured panels, where the silver would be better. And you know how I feel about the Atom being in a bright colour - it's the best way to make sure those Porsches see you coming up fast behind them! My currently black one is up for a respray in a couple of weeks...

[coot]

Bearing in mind your previous colour, Bruce, I'm waiting to see what this will be!

You didnt get a job lot of yellow paint from Trotters Independant Trading, did you? Looks good at night, apparently

Cheers,

Peter.

It's called Daffodil Sunshine apparently... absolute steal at a quid a litre. Apparently it was surplus from the revamp of the Day Room at the Camden Rest Home for Disturbed Gentlefolk.

[coot]

lol, just hope its not applied like a mad womans **** !

[coot]

Thats actually quite nice!

( Although my youngest was just passing the monitor and thought Ballamory was on )

Cheers,

Pete.

the car, not the house!

The wheels of your Atom Noire apparently are from Dynamag.
I saw them elsewhere before but I can’t find neither the seller nor details / specification. IIRC they are forged aluminium or cast magnesium and are rather expensive. Here front and rear have same dimensions ?


BTW: That Atom also has transparent polycarbonate or acrylic glass side panels which should be standard in UK But how are they fixed to chassis frame ? “Special brackets “ (IIRC in French = colliers) required? (because these are bronze welded ERW / CDS steel tubes with a the powder coated finish ?? )

Should be standard? They should be banned!

I believe they're attached by lugs on the chassis which can be specified at build ...though retro fitting some clamp-on clips wouldn't be too tricky.
