    The colour itself was custom mixed to match the superior 500 wheel I bought for the car.It is actually a metallic primer made by HOK,then we put a product called metaljuls-I think that is how you spell it-suspended in clear-over the top.Matt Egan painted it for me,after I stripped off years of "hot rod red".

    Rootbeer would look ace.

    Give me a call when you get to the diamond pleat stage.
    Or just pearl T&R would suit.

    Gosh, your engine looks so nice, elricho...the carbs are beautiful. I luuuuuv a '50s/'60s overhead V8 with multiple carbs...'specially chrome ones. I've got a six-carb intake for the 430 MEL that I'll use in my '29 roadster, and it's gonna be expensive for all those chrome carbs, BUT...gotta have 'em. Jewelry! :)

    The engine looks great. The color on the engine sets it off great. What color is that on the engine ?

  23. Looks like the economy just got a good boost! It will again when you finish that thing and need gallons of chrome polish to keep it clean! LOL.

    Sure is a beauty . . . . but man I'd hate to have to clean and polish all that chrome. But, it does look stunning, so there is a definite trade off.
