Looking good so far  :drool5:

Design, parts gathering (hoarding), disassembly, stripping, cutting, welding, grinding, blasting, metal fabrication, rust repair, panel replacement, mechanical, wiring, interior, and final assembly are all on me...



But...

Do you know what sort of PPG paint? I'm going PPG Deltron Base coat on my 500.

The way I came up with this color went something like this:

Years ago at the Mopar Nationals (I don't even remember if it was Ohio or Indy)

PPG had a '69 Charger on display.

So I ask the guy "What color IS that"? :shruggy:

"That REALLY looks GOOD! :drool5:"

He writes some numbers down on a piece of paper and when I get home,

I stick the note on the fridge in the garage with a magnet. ::)

Y-e-a-r-s pass...

Time to paint my car...

I tell my buddy "I've got the code written down here... somewhere"


"Oh Shit!" "Here it is, on the refrigerator"

See if you can still get this... :scratchchin:

"It's PPG 2019 B-5"

So he gets a sample of it and does a spray out on a test panel.

I check it out  :scope: and...

I say...

"That's It!" :2thumbs:

"Do it!" :coolgleamA:
