    I love that color! But maybe it will be too much of a good thing? I can't wait to see it together. Since you're on the Right Coast, I may have to paint mine the same color so that there's balance in the universe.

    Keep the photos coming

    Don't do that! I love the color you have on yours! We just need to meet in the middle and that should balance out the universe. It would at least balance out the folks in Oklahoma City. That's about half way isn't it?

    Yeah I'm ready to get it back and all put together. Probably another week before the paint. How's that aircraft carrier of yours coming along?

    I'm looking for a radiator support right now, and as soon as I have that, we can remount the motor and trans, then the body will be done. So I really about 2 weeks away from having the body done. Then starts the list of chrome to try and find...

    I'm dreading that!

    Sweet! Thats got to be a good feeling! I almost went with that color for my Riv. I was thinking that if it was to intense I would add a black vinyl top to tone it down.

    Well, she was delivered to the house this weekend and it looks great! I am really excited to see all of the sheet metal back on the car. Now I have a lot of work to do. I am still thinking tan interior, tan top. Any other ideas?

    Dave she looks great!! Man I love that color on it. I like the idea of a Tan interior, but was thinkin a white top. Hell I dunno, it's your baby... Can't wait to see the progress...

    Looks nice Dave! :beers2:

    We went out to the MN street rod nationals yesterday and saw several cars that were painted in that type of color. Really like it!
    Though orange is my favorite, so I am biased.

    11,600 cars at that show! :shock:

    Thanks all. Sarge, I like the idea of a white top... :idea2: That might look awesome!

    I'm also thinking about a set of 20" rims to give it the Chip Foose look, but I'll tell ya, no one really knows what will fit it. I know the lug pattern is 5x5, and I'm probably going to have to stay with a 7.5" wide rim just so they will fit under the fenders. Anyone know what will fit it?
