    Great to have family work on and be part of all the memories to come. My first car was a '31 coupe. Many good memories.

    Found what appeared to be original writing under the paint, which helped us decide the color. Shouldn’t use a panel from the car as a test panel, but we wanted something we could hang and see if we actually like.

    Nice work on your coupe. I think it will look great in this color. Just sent my tudor sedan off to paint, cant wait to get it back on the road.

    My old '67 Chevy stepside was a similar color when I got it, but it definitely needed redoing. Picked a Chevy dark red that was very close, but later found out that it was originally a Ford truck color! This will fabulous when you're finished. Look up NVRRDUNN on here, his coupe is very close in color.
