View Full Version : NewColor_on the 41' if you give a damn!
If you give a damn - Finally painted the 41'Coupe. With a new baby on the way in 2 weeks and lots of body mods. figured I better paint it. Used info on some previous posts on what paint to use by Germ and others etc.. decided on the way to the paint shop on a color after weeks of debate. - PPG single stage paint with plenty of flattner, Color is a Cherolet Metallic Blue from the ealy 60's.. All the work done in my car port in the Bu keep in eye out for us next time you head up PCH.. _ HIGG'

http://www.jalopyjournal.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/frown.gif Man, i LOVED the charcoal drawn flames on your car over white. I really liked those hubcaps on it too. But I gotta say, this looks pretty bitchen as well. Are you gonna put the caps back on?

Good choice. Thats a really smooth car. New baby will like it when you have to take it riding @ 2AM because nothing else will cure colic!!! http://www.jalopyjournal.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif

Higg glad to see you finally got a hood for that thing. The lack of hood pins really made a difference. Looks awesome.

That looks great! Good stance & I bet it looks even cooler w/ the caps.
Good luck w/ the baby. It's an adventure man...a good one though.

very nice Higg, are you coming out to Bo's anytime again??

I want to see it with the caps again. (Cause I don't really think that red on the wheels matches the blue, personally)
Nice color. I think it is drawing more attention to the fact that it has a chevy grille, with the flames gone. Are you going to do the same style flames again? Maybe you can do them more subtle this time? Either way it rocked before, and it rocks now.
