Yeah Baby!

That is sweet. One question, who made the rear halfshafts? There is a logo on them, but I can't make it out.

I'd take that over a Cobra any day!

Is that Guldstrand rear linkage or did you make that yourself?

[ViperBlue68]

that is one bad a$$ beast!!! cant wait to see it completed....will the car be silver as well when done?

Can't be sure on color yet,
Leaning towards, Dark Sliver with lighter silver stripes.
Thought about a similar color to the Cobra Concept car shown on Rides.
I like yellow, and even more a color I have in my head which is Yellow/silver/pearl, looks great when I close my eyes, but might not be possible.
I intend to drive this car everyday, so a bright color might attract too much attention.
Any comments???

i don't know if anyone could offer any advice here, it's your dream car and inherently it should be your dream color. I'm partial to dark colors myself, but I have my reasons. The silver/yellow combo you have in mind doesn't sound bad at all though, and i don't see how it wouldn't be possible? I think you should get some paint mocks made up, see how they look on some random sheets before you take the jump (of course) it could help you solidify your ideas. Also you might think about calling up some of the great guys over at PPG or DuPont, i'm sure they'd be able to help you figure things out further

.02 cents given, and good luck!

p.s.- i want your car.

If you want to avoid attention, get a Mini Van! That is seriously wicked looking ride. I'm currently putting together a twin turbo 1963 Grand Sport and I'm hoping to get the set rear suspension set up from Guldstrand. Is that the coil over kit or the one with standard shocks? Do keep us posted!

Hi RV,

I think that a yellow silver black color scheme would look great. Silver is also nice, but EVERYBODY is going silver (silver is the new red).

I was facing the same issues when deciding on a color for my car. I finally choose the path least traveled.

For your ref, here is a photo of my engine bay showing the colors I picked.
