Default HEEEEEEEEEEY MOMO!

When the hell are you igniting the 427? :jester
oh yea. its Prowler Orange. :D
we've got a couple boo-boos to fix before its done done, but if i do sell it its gonna be hard to let go of. they may hear a bumping sound for the 1st mile or so, and i may end up with some wicked road rash. :D it is be-you-tee-ful though. so you'll get to see it PO :yesnod:

i figgure if they say anything about the paint being ugly, ill ofer to paint it black, or red or yellow, or purple etc... it would cost the same as black at this point. :D

:cheers::cheers: :cheers::cheers:

Wow, nice pic, but what are you talkin' bout?
Selling her, repainting her? :confused:
I know this post isn´t dedicated to me, but I sure would be happy to understand the meaning......;)

:lol: well i am seriously considering buying StingrayRacing's 72. ive gone into it before, long story short, his is faster :D but i couldnt decide weather to paint it black or prowler orange beacuse black is a broader audience, but prowler orange IMHO is a better and more unique color. my dad kinda surprised me and just painted it PO. MOMO, and a few others out there, were dying to see it finished as PO, soooooo... and MOMO is literally a 1/2 hour drive. i want to see his 427 start up, and he wants to see a vette with prowler orange on it. :yesnod: so i figgure he will be excited. he was pushing the hardest for PO. :D

how is your project coming along Markus?

Thanks for exlaining, as you can see I already changed my signation... :sad:
From gets painted in September to right in the middle of painting......
but now its already November and only the T-Tops are at the paintshop - not even finished yet.
But I make progress - I think one or two weeks and then the car will be at the paint shop.
I spent the last weeks with restoring the doors, repairing, improoving the gaps between doors, hood, and so on.
I´m getting close to finish.
And I´ll post some pics then. The color I chose isn´t common, I hope you´ll all like it - but that´s a secret until my paint topic will show up.
BTW I think PO rocks and as I said before the car looks bsolutely cool.
:cheers: Markus

No it´s not, I returned to the my first choice at the paintshop and it´s not red. I wanted to make her pewter, but then again I returned to the roots and back to my first choice :crazy: What about joining the thread "how do you look like?"
There´s a picture of me and I´d be happy to see how you look like, until now you´re "only" prowler orange - a nice guy at the forum.
Have a nice day, Markus

Well, I was one of the people that had reservations about painting it orange. You obviously knew better, because I think it looks great! Nice job.
