Thanks a ton Army. Now should I do away with the two tone and do it all in scarlet red or keep the two tone?

Take that paint code over to 'Space Age Paint' in Mesa and they can make it up for you.
You just tell them what you are doing and they do the rest, it's a very cool place......

I would keep the two tone, I love that two tone, much more unique, and I think it really keeps that 80's look alive.

Thanks tinman. I'll keep that place in mind but PPG is just down the street from me.

As for the two tone, I'll most likely do it solid since I want to do a matte black stripe type setup.

Indeed. Currently I'm going through the whole car so it's taken apart. The guy forgot to put cotterpins in some crucial front suspension parts when he did the car and it pretty much caught me off guard last night.

Went to drive the car home and there was horrible grinding coming from the front end but I had to limp it home. Get home and right when I turn to back my car into the drive way, the whole front end collapses onto the tire. Took out the A-arms, and the ball joints seem to be the cause. Reason to get tubulars now.lol
