It also strikes me as the Marb counterpart to Signalfan's CH 2-way with the mixed visors (I always loved that one). Right now it's a mix of black, green, and unpainted parts...will be all green when finished.

Nice looking setup Francis! Is it all wired up to a controller?

Brush-painted with Rustoleum Hunter Green, and wired up to an LTG! These are lousy, dark pics...will post better ones later. It looks great...I might sleep in the sunroom tonight! :cool:

Si, senor! I was absolutely inspired by Signalfan's CH 2-way. In Jersey, I used to (rarely) see corners with two 4-ways, either adjustable or fixed face, one with tunnels, the other with cutaways. The combination was awesome, IMO. But I also like seeing the visor mix within the same cluster, like this.

Here are some pics I just took with better lighting (still the same s**t ipod camera):
