My daily driver is a Flame Red Dodge Ram. Looks to be similar to Torch red. A little orange under sunlight. I would go for that before something deep like Viper red.

I think that Ontario Orange is available as a base/clear these days.

Fantastic color! If it had been available 7 years ago, I would be showing you pics of it on a '76.

I amin seriously aiming towards Firemist Orange Metalic, the same as Jayfire's 79 in the forsale section. Infact, I am 97% positive that is what my color will be

Right now I'm leaning towards Hugger Orange. Eye catching, but still looks like it could have rolled off the line that way. Plus, no metallic flake for an novice painter (me) to mess up.

My inspiration:

But my mind is apt to change more than a female picking out the nights outfit...

Hi LC,
The 'night's' outfit is easy.... nothing!
The 'evening's' outfit decision is more difficult!
Regards,
Alan

If all goes as planned (and I certainly don't see a reason why not), I will be driving this one home this Saturday, it's "Orange flame".

Looks good. You know I never even bothered to see what factory colors were offered on my '76. I had only seen Ontario Orange, and thought that was "the orange" for rubber bumper cars. Learn something new everyday!

Is this Atomic Orange? It seems to be more of a copper compared to the cars further up in the page. Could just be the lighting.
