Yeah it does. My Dad painted his 50 Chevy truck Petty blue(since thats our last name) and it looks just like that. I bet there is a little diffrence under sun light.

Wow, John, your photography is fantastic.

The man behind the car.
It's pretty easy to get carried away heaping praise on people for the car they have built or even the wheels they bought, but John deserves it for being a a genuinely decent guy. Nice work John.
Can't wait to see what he builds next.

Congrats John!! The car looks absolutely killer IMO. Been a long road - but worth the wait. Your fab skills are second to none. Much like everybody else I've been following the build up for sometime - it was almost a shame to cover up some of the work that went into II Much. Look forward to seeing some better pics.

Props again John....Great job!!

Thanks everyone! It means a lot to hear that you guys like the car. I've been working on it for over 6 years now, and I'm still trying to wrap my mind around the fact that I'm (mostly, lol) done.

Sorry about the delay in photos, but security was tight. The guards took the "no photos except by Press" quite literally. I almost got Mike Norris' camera confiscated when I was taking pictures of my own car!

Many of you remember my first tentative technical questions, and then some of my fabrication photos, and my mistakes and corrections. It's been an incredible learning experience, and it has taken way way too much time (and money).

Most who saw it, liked it. People asked me if it was a Ford, or a Duster, or why I put such wide wheels on a drag car, or if I knew that one edge of trim was out of alignment (I did, thanks).

All in all, the best part of the show was renewing old aquaintances, and starting new ones. It's always cool to talk cars with others who care about them as much as me.

But anyway, now that the wraps are off, I can post more photos of the car. JohnU has tons of quality stuff he's taken over the past several years, and I have some stuff too.

thanks again!!!

The car is one of those colors that is going to be difficult to photo and get it to come through true. Cameras lie, printing presses lie, computor monitors lie, so it will be hard at best. It IS NOT Petty blue, as I happen to have sprayed a volume of correct Petty blue for movie cars a few years back. It is a varient of the Petty blue, but much more pastel, subtle and sinister. And it positivly IS NOT baby blue. This thing looks like anything but a babies blanket. I will be the first to say when I saw spy shots of the car I was like, UGH! What did he do! But in person it is a cool color, and a fantastic indoor show color as it does not absorb a ton of light, which is a good thing.

But then again, a car like this, a color like this, is not intended to please everyone. It would not be cutting edge if it did not piss off a few people along the way. What II Much does very, very well is go to the edge, the very edge, without falling off the side of the cliff like so many other cutting edge cars that have debut recently.
