Just thought I would share...

Hi Steve,

What paint system are you using. I really dig the "copper" paint.

[ViperBlue68]

Its Plymouth Prowler orange if I remember correctly.

It's the same color the car came with.. 2002 Prowler Orange.. it has a lot of gold in it when the sun hits it.

Here's an example:

I'm sure it's a tough color for McBride to get in a rendering.. he is going to work on getting it closer.

Today we installed DSE subframe connectors.. was amazed how easy they were to install and how well they mated to the aftermarket subframe even though they are designed for a factory one..

Looks great Steve, you keep this up much longer and you will have to repaint the whole bottom of the car!! About time to fab up the exhaust!!

For some reason, I'm always gravitating towards those Toyo tires.

I posted this same response on another forum, but I want to repeat here to give Steve his "prop's."

Steve has been a terrific customer, his install wasn't a typical one in that the frame rails and significant sheetmetal work had been done to the car previously, so there's been an amount of improvising. On top of that, we had problems getting the correct axles (twice now), and a few other non-ordinary things pop up that haven't in the past with any other projects. You know, the "what the heck is that all about, oh well, not a big deal to fix, but...." He's been super patient, and it's been a great learning experience for all involved. His car just gets better, and better every time work gets done on it, it's really looking terrific and should perform really well.
