    Beautiful color. I know you said the color is dupont 5248A. Do you know the PPG code your painter crossed it to?

    OK, I FINALLY went over to my other Garage and looked at the paint cans. Sorry to say but there are no numbers on the can, in fact I couldn't find ANY information on the cans. Sorry but I tried. You may just want to give the Dupont paint code to a PPG paint guy and I'm pretty sure they will give you the PPG paint code for that color. This is pretty much what my paint guy did. Sorry I wasn't to much of a help on this one.

    AACA Museum 32 Ford Coupe

     



    Hey Guys,

    Sorry I have not posted on here in a LONG TIME but the guy I am building the Graffiti Coupe for has not had the money to keep the project going so I have been a bit of a stand still with the project. Once the project is back up and going I will start up my post again.

    In the mean time I found out that a New Age Motorsports Body (maybe chassis) made into the AACA (Antique Auto Club of America) Museum in Pennsylvania. I thought this car had a Graffiti type flair about it so I wanted to do a small post on it. The coupe looks like it just rolled out of the 50's and right into the Museum. Now here's the thing I don't understand (just one of the things in my life....LOL). Aren't these cars that go into this Museum supposed to be original steel???? If so someone over there was fooled by the curve ball big time. But then again I know first hand how the NAM bodies fool people as it happend all the time when I was taking this project to car shows........ I guess in the end we really do end up what we pay for..........

    Anyway here is the coupe and the name of the owner is Dick Railing. I pretty sure he is one HAPPY GUY at this point with the coupe!

    Talk to you all soon

    Nice coupe for sure. Hear yah about money being tight and projects on hold, same here, but I still have lots of low budget body work, wiring, etc... that I need to do! Just don't like to do!

    That's rich that the AACA may not realize their display car is glass On your project, I guess I had missed the fact that you were building that one for someone else. Thought it was going to be yours

    Enjoy the little things in life, and you may look back one day and realize that they were really the BIG things.

    Thanks for checking for me. I tried to do a search for the DuPont code and came up with nothing. I will give the code to my paint guy to see what he comes up with.

    Thanks again.

    Don't feel bad, the economy got me and I'm out. Can't do no more. All that money & time invested, Gonna take the kick in the pants and sell mine for whatever I can get out of it. I really hate to, but sometimes ya just got to do what you got to. I'll list it under parts... Sad...

    I noticed at the beginning of this thread the 4 carb Offy intake and then I ran across this: Offenhauser 4 carb manifold with carbs for SBC someone posted on another forum that the real "Graffiti Coupe" had a Man-A-Fre 4 carb setup and this ad for the Offy is untrue referring to what was on the real coupe,so what is the real truth?

    The original Graffiti coupe has a Man-A-Fre set up on it. The add posted on the other site states that it is the "same style of set up" as the Graffiti coupe. It should state that it is a "similar" style but not the exact same....Hope this helps.

    Talk to you all soon!

    Thanks Rick for the additional picture of Ron Wolcott's Coupe. I bought a recent Street Rodder magazine with their 2012 calendar, and Ron's Coupe made I think June. Awesome car! Ed called me the first week of January, and he started my 32 5 window Coupe. I'm so excited! I'm bringing up the 521 stroker/C6 in early February for him to set in. I can't wait to pick it up when it's done. Here's a pic of the engine, with the new Sanderson Jayster headers with 3" dumps I bought for it. I also picked up some cheap Hoosier 29.0 x 12.5 R15's for the rear tires. A local guy on Craigslist sold them both for $275! They are like brand new.

    Thanks Dave! LOL I wouldn't have it any other way; Ford in a Ford! I was looking for a little taller and wider tires, but I couldn't pass up that deal to get me going. I can't wait to get my Coupe!

    OK BOYS, I FINALLY HAVE THE GRAFFITI COUPE PAINT CODE IN PPG! Yes, after a long wait I finally have the code as I had a long talk with my paint guy today so here it is:

    PPG 83849

    My painter said there may be a few variations to this color but he told me that he used "PRIME" on the coupe I am building as he said this is the TURE COLOR of the paint.

    Hope this helps you all out and sorry for the LONG WAIT. But like I say better late than never.....LOL
