Build Thread Bird_dog0347's Frankenstang, holy crap it's a car again (for a minute)

For many years I have always thought for sure I'd go with Bright Atlantic Blue for the paint color, then a year or two ago I saw the Chevy color Riptide Blue and I was torn. I really wanted to see them side by side but finding a BAB Mustang isn't easy, then getting it next to a Vette or Camaro in that color is even harder. So I asked Kevin to spray samples of both, he sent me this text earlier and I don't even know which is which. He's gonna spray the samples but damn they are close!

Not a lot to show at the moment, still looks like primer but with more dust on the ground every time. About ready to do the bed liner on the undercarriage, and the engine block is at the machine shop.
 
What color did you end up going with? I know you were between two but didn’t see what you picked
Kinda didn't pick... Kevin and I talked many times about color and I was always pretty set on BAB, he knew that and said he'd put his own twist on whatever I choose. Once he got the two samples, and we couldn't tell them apart it's basically a BAB with some extra pearls in it. He is going to ship me a test panel (I assume small piece lol) so I can see it in person. If I want to change it that's fine, it was just the bottom of the trunk, if not, send it...
 
Well???? 6+ months later and nada?
That’s my bad …been taking some time off but we goin get some paint flowing soon.

To be perfectly fair... I had a $15k emergency plumbing problem, so I asked Kevin to give me a couple of months to rebuild the cash buffer. Ready to go now, just waiting in line.
