    Hey guys, just curious for your input. I'm leaning toward olive drab with a WW2 fighter plane theme. With the pinup girl and the bombs and rising suns on the cowl. Tune ports off with high rise with hilborn scoop.Tell me what u think

    Sand yellow with scud missles and camels to match the tune port injection.

    Id say paint it a rootbeer brown candy. Would look badass in my opinion. Is that a t frame its sitting on? Is that a 305 or a 350 TPI. The harness would make it hard to or damn near impossible to run without the mafs or the tpi. Your better off finding a naturally aspirated engine then to mess with all that ecu crap.

    Paint your P-40 olive drab. And unless you've run 5 Mitsubishis off the road and haave become an ace, don't put any meatballs on the cowl. Build a hot rod and paint it black or puple or red.
     

  8. Depends if you want to win at a Goodguys event then paint it yellow.
    OD is OK if you got a jeep but I might paint it gold metalic. Oh but that would make it my next car.

    The candy root beer mentioned would look good or you could just paint it black.

    I'd go with faded black, red primer and rust.

    I'd paint it silver/aluminum, that's what I'm painting mine.

    Your pinup girl and bombs would look like they were still on a plane.
     
  13. black. mile deep BLACK. 140 coats of hand rubbed BLACK lacquer. I think BLACK might look good.

    I saw a pearl paint on a new Caddy escalade (sp?) yesterday. Not white, but not quite tan either, thought it would look sweet on a hot rod.

    It's not like you can't drive it if someone doen't like it! Paint it how you want and " Don't worry...Be HAPPY".

    Hey I know what color you are talking about! I always laugh when it is on the escalade truck.
    I think you are right, It should be on some kinda hot rod. One with a lot of chrome...

    Without getting into the battle about one or two oddities-ALL '30 Ford coupes are 5 windows. So really, saying you have a '30 Ford five window coupe is a bit redundant.
