Build Thread '83 T-top Coupe - Welding Holes in My Rear

[Noobz347]

Let’s not leave this Noobz’ imagination, I’m not sure where that might take us.

Fine. Take the blue pill then.

Glad to see you doing some car stuff again Dave. Let that talent of yours shine.

Ok, the next thing is going to be hard to type........I don’t like Kona Blue.

I’m going to change the color. Seriously.

Remember that green I used for the GLX on the hood? I really like that color.

What do y’all think? Tell me what you think would be a good color.

I began to realize, that while this is a hard to find fox. It’s also a rust bucket I’m saving from an imminent return to nature. I’m going to do things to it that aren’t natural.

Ive always loved Sonic Blue. I like that GLX green for accents, but think the car would look a little too "different" if you were to shoot the whole thing in that color. How about Laser Red? Youve always said you love fresh red paint?

 

[Noobz347]

Vista Blue

 

[95BlueStallion]

Doesnt look much different than Kona in that pic Noobz...

 

[Davedacarpainter]

I don’t think I want blue. The trim color would go great with that green, I’ll go dig up a color chip on it and post a picture for you guys.

 

[95BlueStallion]

It may partially be that its an 03-04 Cobra color, but I dig it.

 

[Noobz347]

I like it because changing the secondary color makes it look like a different blue:

Here’s the chip in the shade and sun.

Idk though, I just want something different.

 

[Davedacarpainter]

Got it in mud

Maybe its my screen but that color looks like gold in the sun... I'm not sure how the car will look in that color Dave. I have told myself time and time again if i ever get the money to have someone paint my car i want a gunmetal grey color...

That looks nice to me. It has a greenish/gold '60s quality to it.

 

[Davedacarpainter]

Here's how it looks on a vehicle. Now try to imagine it on a fox body. I can see it clearly in my mind along with the t-tops in.

 

[Davedacarpainter]

I know it's different, but i like it. Still, it's not set in stone yet. World of colors out there, huh?

I want to have it picked by monday, then I will get the base made by the jobber and sent to me (a gallon unreduced).

BTW, sikkens will be giving me the paint

Now imagine the engine bay area smoothed and painted that color and all shiny and stuff.

 

[Davedacarpainter]

It's like Mike has the Gila Monster

I'll have the Gekko......not as intimidating sounding, is it?

 

[RaggedGT]

I'm down with the Green IF...... The hood stripe is the Grey from Doby And.... Kona Blue pinstripes around the hoodstripe/lettering

I recognize that car, who's is it?

 

[Mustang5L5]

I dunno I snagged it off the bookface.
