MRWEST Posted February 18, 2014 Share Posted February 18, 2014 big negative on that one... Panelbeater didnt work on it over xmas hols and has been away a shit load in the year already....however hes back on deck now and hoping for a couple of weeks to finish things up and get it ready for paint. Going to trrrryyy and get it home by easter as heaps of days off over that period to make good progress but will see how we get on. hows the datto coming along? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sr1600 Posted February 18, 2014 Share Posted February 18, 2014 Been meaning to have a noisey one day when i go past as they seem to be there most saturdays till about 2pm i guess. Went aand had a noisy at the datto on monday evening, gave it a once for any rust before they start priming. So by now she should be battleship grey and ready for a beating............Been damn lucky rust wise , however i have a few dents to be sorted. When was all those weddings?

Nominal Posted February 25, 2014 Share Posted February 25, 2014 Brighter colour would be my recommendation, unless you want to look distinguished. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xygtho Posted February 25, 2014 Share Posted February 25, 2014 Been following your build - nice work! Plain bold / solid colour would be my vote. Old cars dont suit new colours - but hey just my opinion. Keep the updates coming Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spencer Posted February 25, 2014 Share Posted February 25, 2014 Hard to tell from that picture, but is that pretty much brown? if so Brown gets my vote! Im the opposite of above I am not a fan of plain bold colours unless you are doing a factory restore. Even then the factory had some totally sweet colours in the 60's, plus as they were acyclic they weren't as full on as plain colours done in 2k paint.

MRWEST Posted February 26, 2014 Share Posted February 26, 2014 yeah its like a bronze/brown colour i guess haha...so many options. I do know one thing i dont want a bright yellow, oragne, pink etc etc dont want that in your face! Cheers for the comments guys, glad to finally be making some progress and see things eventuating!

Mr.Mk1 Posted February 26, 2014 Author Share Posted February 26, 2014 100% like that sort of colour choice (the ford especially) Will look classy and understated but once you start looking around will pick up on all the cool bits you have done. Typical nz impala colours are boring/played out. would make the blacks and chrome parts pop! I've seen some sweet similar colours on new euros too, BMW I think? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MRWEST Posted February 26, 2014 Share Posted February 26, 2014 mercedes has a similar colour was where i first saw it then seen a heap of territorys with it! That colour stands out without being in yoru face if it makes sense? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mitch.W Posted February 27, 2014 Share Posted February 27, 2014 Yeah that colour gets my vote! a nice cream colour would set it off! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MRWEST Posted April 7, 2014 Share Posted April 7, 2014 thanks mate certainly looking forward to it being complete, turned out to be a much bigger project than originally anticipated and kind of spiralled out of control a bit as well. Oh well hopefully the end product will be worth the pain! ha Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
