I bought this car 3 years ago in Santa Cruz, California and have done some work on it since then, and there is still a lot more to do! The man i bought it from had the car since 1989 and he said it had been a hotrod since the 1960s and had a Oldsmobile Rocket engine back then, it would be cool if someone knew more about it, does anyone recognize it??
I really dont know, there is no parts on the car now that are brown, i will call the guy i bought it from and ask if he can remember some more!
Very nice... What color blue is that? Is that from a late model car(and if so do you have the paint code?)...
The body, rear fenders and grille shell are a PPG color named "Royal Blue Met, DBC4830# K", and this paint job is more than 20 years old. The hood and front fenders are a Mercedes color wich i painted one year ago, and i dont have the code to it right here. I could not get the PPG paint here in Norway and took a chance on a similar color i found that looked the same on the test, but the match is not good.... <!-- / message -->
I have been working some more on the Coupe, i have lowered it in the back. I made a new floor 2 inches higher than the original to get space for the rear axle. And i have also installed a limited slip from True Track.
