You mean like this?  We used to own this Gremlin, it was white with the 2 litre Porshce engine in it.  We sold it, the new owner painted it and was planning to put a 401 into it.  The original 2 litre engine now lives at the Rambler Ranch.

Yes, like that.  Now I'm annoyed, someone's got the colour I want and I can't find out where to buy it.

If need be, I can probably contact the buyer of the car and maybe get a paint code.  He always called it Panther Pink.  I think he may have sold the car, as I think I saw it on Craiglist after he painted it and put in the new engine.

Hmmm, doesn't look like the early chrysler panther pink,  I had a test plate made with 1970 chrysler panther pink and it looks different than that picture.  If you could get a paint code I'd really appreciate it.

Some bodyshops can/will custom mix you car paint if you ask really nicely. I've done it before.

I had one paint guy look at a sample of the colour I want and for some reason he didn't think he could duplicate it.  Maybe I need to check some other body shops.

I've found that independent shops are a lot more likely to try, than 'chain' shops. If that helps at all.

Well, thanks for the heads up (pun intended). Though I admit I am 2 inches shorter than you. But I think I have to rely on dreaming. As I am still paying for a parts rig for my brat. Seems the valve cover seals gave up on me and the water pumps on it's way out... ;-; So My eagle is just going to have to wait... need to find a second job to get my fix for my eagle... looking at a potential $10,000 build... BUT OH SO WORTH IT! anyway Thanks again for the heads up.

Post by: el-camino on October 30, 2011, 01:37:23 PM
yes, step by step i chance the color to black ;)
i think its not easy to find original black door panels.
the plastic parts will be painted.

the driver seat was easy to install, but the passenger seat takes a lot of more work.
a little bit too high here, a little bit there, but now is all ok. ;D
Title: Re: faster than photoshop
Post by: Hawk258 on October 30, 2011, 03:29:34 PM
You could have the panels redone if the shop is worth their salt. And could even get them looking nicer.

You can get a dye for vinyl to do your door panels:
