    Awesome Car!
     
  3. Beautiful car, it knocked my socks off in Austin. I wasn't able to catch up with the owner to ask about the color.

    is that Ford Monsoon Maroon? Beautiful color whatever it is. If anyone can put me in touch with the owner or builder for a color verification, I'd appreciate it.

    I did the body and paint on the car and I don't even know if it's brown or maroon! The color is called bordeaux rot (red), '50 VW. Under lights and in the shade it looks like a dark burgundy or maroon but in direct sunlight it definitely has a brown tint to it.

    And here I am telling people that the color does not have a name! Bob, did you make this up or have you been holding out on me?

    Hmmmm...bordeaux rot...I like the sound of that.

    I was asked about 100 times what the color is when I was at the round Up. I started saying "brown" if asked what color maroon it is and "maroon" if asked what color brown it is.

    Bordeaux rot - damit!

    Glad everyone likes the car (except that one guy, but what did he know anyway).

    Hey John, no I didn't just make up the name, the guy behind the counter at Pep Boys told me when I picked it up. The guy washing windows in the parking lot thought it looked more like Thunderbird (the fine wine). I guess it just depends on which way the light hits it but for a solid color with no pearls or effects it sure can change colors. The coolest thing about the car is that there are so many questions to be asked like what kind of engine? What are those taillights? What are those hood sides off of?, and it goes on and on. Good job to you and Jeb for creating such a conversation piece. Talk at you later.

    ...well I know that one guy is NOT me! :) It was great to see your car in person - love it! Also, it was very nice to meet you and chat for a while...

    I noticed that throughout last weekend, then going back and looking at photos. hmm, odd but cool! :cool:
