I thought you of all people would remember what color I'm going. Basically same color as yours with a carbon fiber hockey stripe and tail panel. We still have to do some spray outs to determine the exact color, but basically some form of candy red.

Thanks, we've got over 100 hours just filling and smoothing the floors and frame. Should all come out pretty sweet, there isn't a seem or weld to be seen. Hopefully it will all be worth it in the end.

Riiiight, I forgot. That will look insane. I always wanted to see what my car would look like with dark centered wheels.

BTW, Candy is a pain if having to do repairs or fixes. I'm pretty much stuck with some fixes I need to do. Otherwise repaint the whole car

I like your car. I can appreciate the work going into it. It was wierd. It was like looking at my car under construction. If your car was a 67, I'd swear we were building the same car. Like looking into a mirror.

Candy is cool and all, and we've done plenty. But if your going to drive the car, and if your going to spray out a test panel/disk. Once the color is the way you like it go to the paint store and have them take a photo of it with a "paint camera". Then have them mix up a metallic that matches. Trust me you'll get the same look, but without the hassles of candy.

Yeah, they look a lot better now. It's amazing how much better they look after tucking them into the car more. It looked like Dumbo at first.

They are vision hot rods VF4 mirrors w/LED's.

OK I havn't heard one good thing from anyone about candy since I decided. Now I'm having second thoughts. Can you really have a non candy color look as good as real candy? I've just had this thing pictured in my mind for so long, it's hard to think of anything else.

Id steer clear of candy.. even though rappers and micheal jackson love it.
