I'm fairly new here so just started checking out this thread and think you made a "Great" Choice" on the color scheme

I'm guessing Red Calipers??? But the Pewter with the darker Charcoal on the hood with the red is a great choice!! Subtle, mean, and elegant! Might be cool if you match the wheel spoke shade with the dark Charcoal on the hood but then again, the black adds an additional element of color.

Glad you really thought things through and took your time as hard as that can be!

I think you meant to post on Rons thread maybe?
My car will be blue.

Edit...... I apologize. I didnt realize you were looking at my avatar pic. Things have changed since that was put up. But thank you for the kind words.
Now the car will be blue with a hood graphic. I will try to find the rendering and post it up.

I guess I got to the point where I thought you had made the final decision. My Mistake. Maybe your wife has more influence than you think. They usually can't make up their mind! Sorry! couldn't resist that one!!!

Would love to see the final look. What's the powerplant???

Still like the Pewter/Charcoal/Red combo!

Cool build Eric! Congrats on the AME frame I will be following along. As you may now know.. I have a 70 also and replied to your question over on Rons thread. I will start my build thread here shortly now that Rons car is done and heading back to SoCal. Get crackin man! Easier said than done right? Lol..

Travis,
I saw your reply in Rons thread. Mine is also in bare metal, but still a rolling chassis. The rotissery is next.
The frame I am getting from Craig in the morning is NOT a AME sub. Its the OEM sub from a 1970 camaro. They used it as the basis for the fabricated one they sell.
I guess it's what they measured the suspension and chasis/body mount points for.
The huge benefit for me is that it is already clean, solid and powder coated. And it's verified to be square.
For the $200.00 he listed it for, its cheaper than having my sub blasted and powder coated. Not to mention the possible repairs and running around with it.

Besides, I can sell mine as a complete unit with everything on it and direct the funds back into the build.

I like that color combo too. But right after I gave that rendering the final ok another car designed by Jason Rushforth showed up in a magazine. It had just been finished in Texas. I think theres a comment back in the thread somewhere. So Ben Hermance worked up a new one for me. Ill post it tonight.

This thread has got to be a record.
19 pages long and only a few pictures.

Hey? Shouldn't you be in the market for a project pretty soon?

I wish bud. After the 2 years of unemployment, I am now set back 2 years. I could always sell my current Camaro.
