John,
That's the color. I think your color choice is AWESOME!!!!!!

[472 R/T SE]

 
If you ask him nicely, maybe ds440 could 'shop your color and stripes on your ride?

[HITMAN 149]

yea... i asked fred (plum500) to hook me up ...but he's been a lil busy, i sent him a couple pics to shop in the color & stripes fore me....of course one  is a rear pic of mike's MR ANGRY!!! LOVE THAT CAR!!!!!!!!!!  and another of one w/ a black vinyl roof!!! i'm a bit aways from paint yet, hopefully in  2 months or so i'll get it to the body shop?!?!?  the time to decide?!?!?

[BigBlockSam]

i'm that way with the daytona. i change the color every other month . 

[HITMAN 149]

HMMMMMMMMMMMMMM?? 
either........
#1)  sparkling graphite metallic w/ a black vinyl roof & black tail stripe.....
OR....
#2) black saphire metallic w/ a black vinyl roof & gray tail stripe OR flat black stripe?!?!?!?!?

aghhhhh descisions...descisions...descisions!?!?!?!?!?? 

[mikepmcs]

I really like both of those colors so either would be deadly on your car John. 

I really like the top picture's color, but that combo you specifeid in no 2 there would really look killer too, dang, tough choice there...

[BigBlockSam]

sounds like your building a ralley car

[HITMAN 149]

hey rene...
nah....just trying to update the car, and make it as modern as i can, with-in my budget.  i'm not a purist...so i'm not looking to make it back to original specs, but  don't anybody (purists LOL) worry, i'm not gonna chop it all up either, i'm gonna keep all the original stuff i take off , and anything i do is just bolt on stuff.  my car has no fender tags/ build sheet, and by far is not an original survivor, so i'm not concerned w/ changing some stuff.  NYC MIKE is my idol!!!!!! hahahaha  I LOVE THAT CAR!!!!!!!!! 

[HITMAN 149]

well i stoped by the shop today to drop off my front end kit (of course the bump stops are on backorder ) oh well no biggie though!  the motor is sprayed with it's first flat coat!!! and my buddy said it should pretty much be done in about 2 weeks!!! NICE!!!! here's a couple quick pics i took of the motor & engine bay (that will be all cleaned up nice & sprayed black). yea baby!!!! we decided to go with a 3:73 rear.  so far the engine harness looks good...still need to check out the dash harness?!?!? PROGRESS....PROGRESS.....PROGRESS!!!!! 

[TruckDriver]

The flat paint on the engine kinda makes it look like one of those fake plastic blocks. 

[HITMAN 149]

hahahaha yea it does look like a lil plastic model motor!!! hahahah 

[plum500]

yea... i asked fred (plum500) to hook me up ...but he's been a lil busy, i sent him a couple pics to shop in the color & stripes fore me....of course one  is a rear pic of mike's MR ANGRY!!! LOVE THAT CAR!!!!!!!!!!  and another of one w/ a black vinyl roof!!! i'm a bit aways from paint yet, hopefully in  2 months or so i'll get it to the body shop?!?!?  the time to decide?!?!?

Oh crap, now I feel guilty ... I've got the whole day free today.. I'll do some shots up

EDIT: I'm on it now 

[plum500]

Added some rake, bigger wheels (est ~17" TTO, darker painted spoke), bigger tires, black paint, black grill, and dark gray stripes...

[plum500]

Black stripes... darker spokes...

[plum500]

A little less of an ...err..."artistic" approach...

[HITMAN 149]

sweet work plum!!! thanks!!
stoped off at the shop today to drop off some $$$$, and my 2-SSBC brake boxes!!! they came last nigbt, while i was sleepin before work!!! they were on the porch when i was going to leave to house!!! excellent!!!!! the plan is comming together!!!!!!!!! LOL!!
took another look at the motor... the deck pad is a lil smothed over, and hard to read ...so i diped my finger in some oilf & patted it on the deck pad to fill up the stamp groves!!! BINGO!! hehehehe (i was told it was a 69" block...but i guess tehy were wrong?!?!? ehh no biggie..it's still a 440!!!)
it reads:
F440          V (or what looks more like an upside down "A")

4  6            2

so there it is?!?!? what ever it all means!!! hahahaha well "F" is a 70 block.. what the "V" or upside down "A" mean???
4  6 (no clue?!?!?)  and the 2 i would presume is maybe a "HP2" with the "HP" worn down?!?!?!?

any help??? 
thanks...
-JOHN
