Here is a picture of a promo model. The colors are not quite right in the photo. The colors are called Larkspur blue and Harbor blue. The lighter color on top is actually more of a baby blue than the robins egg it looks like.

The darker blue has a nice hue, but the light blue/turquoise isn't doing it for us. Part of the challenge is that we want to carry the silver through the interior and feel the need to tie it in on the exterior also...fortunately we'll have plenty of time to fiqure it out. Thanks for the pic!

Hey Chad, thanks! 2' of 3x3x1/4 angle (1'/side), 34" of 2 1/2x2 1/2x1/4 square, 12" of 2" id receiver tube, some scrap plate...roughly $40 or so.

I hear you, I was thinking it was softer like interior color that can be seen inside the door on the front seat. (if you can blow the picture up). I've always been a fan of 2 and 3 tone color combos from the 50' and 60's. It adds character to the vehicle that a single color cannot do.

Getting a little colder around here lately and we haven't gotten around to putting a heater in the burb, so not as much cruising as we're used to

My son and I have been spending more time on other projects and working on the shop, but he did tear down the driver door to replace the window mechanism with a spare we had...the original one was flat wore out and would lock up if it wasn't tickled just right.
