Rob-
Thanks; I'm actually working with a few manufacturers to offer up parts for the TB / Atlas engines. Those are old pics- I really need to get some updated stuff with the chassis about done.

LOL Kevin, those caddys represent some of my best childhood memories. I remember as a kid how, at the "Service Station" my Mom would sometimes ask the attendant to check the oil. On those cars, with the hood up you could see a lot of the engine compartment, so I used to watch the guy like a hawk (typically it was a bored teenager) while he would check the oil and about half the time they would kind of just "go through the motions", ie, they would just pull the dipstick and look at it. One time when I was like 6, I got out of the car and climbed up the front bumper and showed the guy how to do it the right way as I'd been taught watching my Dad (pull the dipstick, wipe, re-insert, pull, read.) Since my parents knew the owners of the service station, it became a running joke...

...i agree that the bmw gold on the m3 is nice, but i remember a gold from acura that came out on the cl coupes for like 2 years, it had good pop-strope and russ stevenson lovingly referred to it as "compton gold", and suggested to break it up with ivory stripes...i laughed at first and then realized how different that would be especially since the lines of the camaro are much edgier and flatter than them new fangle cars...ps when i was in elementary school my mom had a buick riviera which ironically was gold with some slippery ass seats too...talk about coincidence :o)

Steve, Just as an FYI, One thing I've noticed in checking out this particular GM color on a bunch of corvettes is that it typically looks quite different than the pic you posted; Take a look at the color on this War Bonnet Yellow LS5, 1971 Survivor car (Original Paint). The color is more of a "lemony" yellow, whereas the pic you posted is more of a "caramel" yellow...I remember having a banana-seat bike (I think it was a Ross Apollo) in this color! LOL

It's the photo editing/lighting. Go see it in person. Try to have a 12"x12" test panel sprayed. I think you will be pleased.

Yep, that could have a lot to do with it...I'm going to get a pint and shoot an old fender just to see.
