Look!!! Putter's making progress. **PICS**
I know everyone likes to see progress, so here is my offering to the "Progress Mongers"......
This is the '67 small window cab that I bought to use on my stepper. 1) I have removed everthing that will unbolt, pry off, pop out, or strip off.... 2) I have cut out the non A/C dash (which I was hacked up behind the radio's bezel) 3) I have welded in the A/C dash I got from a board member 4) I have sanded, primed, and sealed it with an epoxy sealer....and ....MAN, IS IT ORANGE !?!?!? **I had the sealer tinted orange on purpose, so I can get a visual aide and see if I really want to go through with the actual paint color that is from a Mazda-6 (kinda' a burnt orange, almost cinnimon color) Slow....but at least it is progress!!!

Lookin great Putter. That orange is definitely a bit more eye catching than the original green. Can't wait to see it next time I am up there.

(This orange is waaayyyy brighter than the actual paint color, which has more red showing up, but it will work for a visual....plus....anybody can run red oxide, grey, or tan.....)

[QUOTE=Putter]Well, I also like the color on the new F-350s (which I think is identical...or as close as you can get), but I think I would rather tell folks it is a MAZDA color.....don't you think??
Yup..for sure!! Since we are on the subject.. I really like some of the Mini-Cooper colors too.

Don't feel bad about using a Mazda colour (not that you should -- it looks kickin' rad!!)...
You know, Copperhead's colour was actually taken from a Ford!!! The only reason I know, it's the exact same colour as my truck (damn copy-cats ![]() Look up Ford paint code B06 from 2000, called mandarin gold, or ppg mandarin copper, it's used mostly on explorers and sport traks from what I can tell. sure does look better on copperhead than on a ford though.
