Pikes Peak in the background

 

[Chuck]

That is an awesome picture. Imagine what a complete 40 would look like with that backdrop.

 

[Kevin L]

Mike... it is the same color.. what gives

 

[Mike Pass]

Great pic but I thought I could smell a faint hint of Linden Green paint in the background?

Cheers
Mike

 

[Mike]

Haha man that is quite some olfactory system you have. Amazing from all the way across the pond! I think after about 10 different sample plates we did, we have arrived on the right tone.

Mike:
Do I detect a hint of wide body going on?
Sure would look nice on your car.

[Mike]

Middle width standard SPF car. What color is yours?

 

[Phil]

Mike:
Not painted yet but going for a dark blue, just haven't picked exact color yet.

Mike:

Nice ass, and I look forward to seeing it in green.....

 

[Mike]

Something a little different I think. If all the pieces come together like we hope, it should be stunning.

 

[Jack Houpe]

You just didn't like another car that looked like yours. Crazy weather we are having looks like the snow level is down to about 10k feet? I thought it was stunning before dude.

 

[Mike]

Are you in CO jack? Weather this year has been interesting for sure. What is funny is I have never been a red car guy and both my Ford GT and GT40 were/are red. I sold the Ford GT and now am painting the GT40. I think it is going to come out fairly unique. It is difficult to get all the components right that make for a good looking car. Think a dark bronze almost greenish color for wheels. Its going to be cool... I hope, fingers crossed lol.

 

[Jack Houpe]

No Mike I travel through CO anytime the weather permits and I watch the weather channel and its shown your 80 one day and snow the next, sort of like here also.

I'm with you on the red but mine has grown on me. Can't wait to see the new color.

Now you have really got me thinking. I love a good mystery though. Can't wait to see the finished product.

Wednesday looking out the front door at 9000'

 

[Geert-Jan]

Wow, great pic, but not as great what is coming.....

 

[Mike]

Light really plays tricks with the color

 

[Jack Houpe]

What color for the wheels Mike? One of my favorite car colors was John's SPF Mk1, his white was outstanding. I think it was Wimbledon White??

 

[Mike]

Still working on that but most likely a very dark bronze almost black. Whites are interesting with a wide variety of tones. A vintage white to me is not to bright or stark. All I know is there is a look I'm after and its made up of several things all working together. I still don't know if we've hit it and probably won't until its mostly together. Faith lol

 

[Kevin L]

I like the combination, should be unique when finished. Staying with the BRM wheels?
