The color is a little more trouble, I like a burnt orange but can't seem to find exactly what I want. So its still up in the air. I want to drive it so it needs to be able to be matched.

What about the orange from the Plymouth Prowler a few years back(04/05?) Similar to the Atomic Orange on the Corvette but a bit darker if I remember correctly.

Prowler Orange is awesome. Bad Penny is that color.

It is a sweet color, I saw it on Penny in 2010 when I was in Ca. I guess I'm kind of anal I don't want it too dark when its not in the sun.

Hey Wayne,

Its funny that you mention how that color looks in low light conditions, it is rather dark and can have a brown hue. I saw penny at SEMA 07, under the lights the color is incredible, it pops. A month later I buy a pint to shoot a test panel(upper cowl panel) and put the thing on my fireplace mantel, looked at it for a month. Couldn't believe how the color changes in the low light of my family room, loved it in the sun, hated it at sundown. Shoot a test panel you won,t regret it, color is so final.

I agree Rich There's an Eclipse color that is almost the same in light versus dark. I also like the new Cadillac Red on the CTS my painter has one its gorgeous!

Weld 'em in and paint 'em with POR 15 --- they make a flat black.

Unless of course - you're building a show car. That would be different.

Don't ya just love some of these "PRO" shops?!

Those are the Sub-Frame ALMOST connectors! :rofl: Don't let it get to you Wayne. Don't they bolt to the sub? Weld them in and touch up the paint. Like Greg said, which one are you building? If you want perfect, you know what you need to do. Not to get you down, but building these things are like that. They don't call it custom for nothing! I know it hurts when you pay for mistakes. Ask Greg and I how we know! Hang in Buddy! :cheers:

waynieZ 09-13-2011 02:11 PM

What took 4 year to do ? How can you forget to put those in. I was going to pay to havce the bottom painted I don't care if it got banged up from driving but I wanted it to leave the garage all detailed. I just can't believe it.
Chad it killed me to see Greg with so many redo's that he had to fix himself.

GregWeld 09-13-2011 02:22 PM

Wayne ---

I know it kills you! Every time I think about what I paid for the '32 I get pissed off.... but it is what it is.

Tell you what.... you replace my hydraulic clutch -- I'll weld in your sub frame connectors! :willy:



CHAD ------ Got your call ---- and welcome your buddies call any time!


:cheers:
