Major step in my project. The shop light doesn’t do the color justice. What do you all thing though?

Used to be some Explorers around here similar to that color with the white stripes. Always caught my eye with white wagon wheels.

Made some big steps this weekend. Having the cab on allows this project to move forward in many different directions.

It's a 70's ride and I'm a fan of the hot rod colors. Loud and proud my friend! Especially if it's a 78 or earlier with the round headlights. Here is my chrome yellow.

Shoot yeah.. that looks great! The underside is beautiful. You are gonna have to bend down too see it though....

Looks like you are in the "put it back together" stage now.

Competition Orange is a Ford OEM color found on 2013, 2014 & 2015 Mustangs. As I put the truck back together, this color scheme is my template. Orange with black trim and a hint of chrome.

Thank you for the positive responses.
