Uh, no. Why?
To make each build less crappy than the last one. Or, put another way, "Better than the last one, not as good as the next one!"..

I have decided to go with blue instead of red. Walking around Walmart this morning I found the perfect blue to go for... Rustoleum High Gloss Macaw Blue. :lashed: :dancing: :dancing: :dancing:

Spent an hour or so figuring out the best grey color for the interior. I started thinking darker greys but I went against it. Definitely a lighter shade of grey would go best. I’ve done a few swatches of various light grey shades and will make a decision at some point today.

That's a good shade of blue Tom. I think that's similar to what I used on my 37 Chevrolet Gasser that I built a few years back like the one that you are building now. Looking forward to seeing all of this start coming together.

Looks like you’re having fun with this one. The Blue and white are a nice color combination.
