Not my favorite color of blue...but it is Guardsman Blue. It is what they were back in the day and I do like the color for that reason. Mike always cheats the color a bit and makes it a bit more blue and less green. He does fabulous work.

Evan,

I should have been clearer in my earlier post. When I said "Not my favorite color of blue...but it is Guardsman Blue," I was referring to the "Great link" of the article on the car. Bill painted it the correct Guardsman blue. That said...there really isn't a correct Guardsman Blue. Painters back in the day were (and still are are) notorious for mixing up their own version of the color. If one toner was low I'm pretty sure Shelby painted away anyway.

EDIT!

I just got off the phone with the guys at DenBeste and they confirmed we did NOT make the car in the press release. The car we made hasn't been painted yet.
