Re: '66 Sunbeam Minx Project - F20C/6sp/4-link/Discs...
I'm super pumped to see one of your projects get some color, I hope this starts a trend for you and you get the itch to finish the Tahoe and the 61.

![]() I know, it's BRIGHT under the fluorescent lights. Curious to see how it looks in the sun. Seems to have held fine. The undercoating looks a bit lighter than it should from dust, but it is actually lighter than the rear deal too... Here are some higher res pics: ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() |

Re: '66 Sunbeam Minx Project - F20C/6sp/4-link/Discs...
Blue is typically a rather sedate color, but you have succeeded in selecting a blue that instead, reaches out, grabs you by the beard and head-butts your face with the volume at 11+. Nice job. I'm sure that was no easy task.

Re: '66 Sunbeam Minx Project - F20C/6sp/4-link/Discs...
That's an awesome blue! It looks similar to the blue on my GTO. I love blues like that. Great color choice. Can't wait to see it on the outside.
