Beautiful color, but as you know I am partial to red. Your car looks great and I can hardly wait to see it finished.  Love that color.

I like it quite a bit. Are you back on keeping it now? |

Really - has anyone ever seen a "bad" color choice? I challenge anyone to show me a really nasty color; one that would cause some one to say: "what were they thinking?"

Wow that looks great! It reminds me of another one sans the strip. Mine was painted "Rossa" red also. There is a lot of different colors to choose from for sure! Keep us posted!

I was up at Tony's last week just after he had painted the car. Looks great and I'm sure worth the wait. I was in NB this past evening and saw it again.

Jeffy it looks really good and Tony did wonderful work.
Starting to feel "real" now, isn't it? I know for me, talking about the Cobra before seeing the body painted was was like talking about something that really didn't exist.
I hope to get up there within the next week or two to check on my build.

Ray-
Saw your car when I was at ERA and love the color. In fact, there are three 427s in progress in different shades of blue and all look great.
I'll look forward to monitoring your progress!
Jeff

Dick-
Always hard to tell from pictures, but seems to me that it looks a lot like your color, which was one of my "inspirations" in my initial post starting this thread!
Take care,
Jeff

Jim-
You've posted here that Tony is an artist, and you are right. It looks like he put on some extra clear coat and did a really great job wet sanding. Since I changed my mind at the last minute, I'm very glad that I had the wait!

Jeff, thanks for the report on the "sighting"! Yes, mine's the 'blue' one!  I'll be watching your progress as well. Glad that you changed your mind, I'm sure you now feel it was worth the wait.

This is the look I'm going for with the black wheels and polished spinners (from PatBuckley's gallery):

I love that look! I was even thinking of doing that on my car.
