Purple is a very popular color for hotrods. Traditional flames stand out good on a grape purple car. My '51 will be a medium dark grape purple.You don't know what you've got til it's gone

I like it the way it is too. That shiny stuff just makes you mad the first time you get careless and chip it with something. (Like damn jack handle but I uhhh wouldn't uhhh know....)

Me buy a hot pink car? maby when I become color blind to the color red. I like purple hotrods, Hot pink could look cool if it was done to the right car. Generally, pinks do look nice on late 50's cars when done a 2 tone pink and white combo.Originally posted by Streets
Paint it "HOT PINK".... Then Matt167 will buy it!! hehehehe
To be a senior Geezer club member ya gotta send all the other club memberz $5,000.00 CASH (no checks) and then do the pledgin' thang and learn the complicated "secret handshake" from Techinspetcror1.....PLUS paintin' yer ride a base HOT PINKcolour under the 2nd coat of grey primer...You don't know what you've got til it's gone

Pink looks good on a female-driven race car Matt. That's all I can think of.

That was done by spraying a color over a "lace" doily, like the side of this body I bought many years ago.Mike Casella

Thanks guys! It's been a long road. Fun doing finishing work for sure. Getting the dash ready for paint and some interior trim. Have to do some finish work on the aluminum headliner before...
