    Sometimes, as in this case, subtle or subdued paint allows the design of the car to stand out more.

    That is close to a stock Ford color - what's wrong with diarrhea brown?;)

    I like the car and color like it is. Very well thought out with attention to details makes it a winner as I see it.The black belt really sets it off and is a eye grabber.

    i kind of felt that way to. The more i see it the more i like it. It is super clean, and the wheels are cool. There is always a crowd around it, but i dont think it could get lost in one.

    Hey Weasel, I LIKE the coupe's color! I don't like the green color on the '32 sedan by Pinkee's.

    Congrats, I thought it was very nice along with the others there. I'm glad I didn't have to decide who the winner was.

    I like the car, but the grille shell and insert need to be sectioned at the bottom 3" to bring the lower lip up...and lose the front spreader bar.

    Your mileage may vary...

    I seriously dislike seeing the rear quarter below the wheel in the back but for some reason this car looks really good. It doesn't look too hammered to the ground but yet it is. Did a really good job laying this hot rod out. Very easy on the eyes.

    Thanks

    I like it, it sits just right. Cowl to grill shell, slight channel are the first things I noticed. The rear wheel over the wheel well looks wrong on most cars, but for some reason it looks just fine on this car. Its a roll model for my '30 Roadster.
