[QUOTE=extralight;252978]Would like to introduce my project. Ebay Purchase 18 months ago. Downs body with modified Art Morrison chassis. C6 345mm and 330mm brakes from Kore3/Tobin with initial help from Frank to figure out the Ford Spindles. Drawings done last year from Jason Rushforth. Car will have Ls3/T56 Magnum from Street Rod Engines. Worked on the car slowly over the last 18 months and decided at Thanksgiving to hand it over to the very capable hands of Kurt and Paul at Autokraft. Car will be painted the Blue/Grey from the Aston Martin One-77 concept car if we can get the paint code. Cove will be laid in carbon fiber.

You definitely nailed the color choice, hope you have some time on your hands, getting that code is going to be like pulling teeth. I would say the color your talking about is the SANDSTONE BLUE. The Aston Martin 1-77 will basically have five default colors and future owners (only 77 to be built, hence the name) can custom mix hues from that pallet. The owner then gets to name that paint code. The first AM 1-77 owner chose a shade of Sandstone Blue calling it Blue Gibbo. As you can see the possibilities off the Sandstone Blue are endless.

Do you plan on refining the rear wheel well openings and the back end of the car on the body mods. to better enhance the body lines?
I bought my dad a 61 project (a neglected roller) 7 yrs ago when he retired. He recently sold his Austin healey and is now finally doing something with the project and has been checking out frame options. Im looking forward seeing what Kurt does with your car they are not to far north of me.
