I hate honey gold on old musclecars, it's disgusting. That would definately have to change. Nice project otherwise, I just tend to prefer darker colors on older cars, tends to compliment the lines of the cars better and make the chrome stick out that much more.

I believe we used either PPG or DuPont. I forget now honestly, since I'd changed my choice on the color numerous times before I finally settled on a Chrysler factory color (midnight blue pearlcoat) and tweaked it slightly.

It's been shot now, we just got the doors, hood, trunk lid, fenders etc back on the car, and now it's getting wet-sanded, then shot with clear again (2 coats) then buffed and polished out.
It should be done this week, and I'll get some pics of it for ya.
I've been too busy with other stuff lately to do much with the car (dialysis, and the access I have is clotted so I have to go in for surgery today.)
That aside though, the car is nearly finished now. I'm about to send some of the chrome out for rechroming.

This car has been in the body shop for the paint since March 2006 (over a year) as it was a 'side project' and I had it stripped down, and did the bodywork as I had time.

also forgot to mention, the links/site don't work because I lost my site's host unexpectedly, so I'm in the process of moving the site to a new host. I guess I should hurry up and get that done here PDQ.
