66 Dart GT HT Whatsitgonnabe?

I agree, i dont like the way the factory assembles everything, then goes nuts with the spray bomb overspraying everything. I like a sharp contrast between the pulleys, and brackets, and the exhaust manifolds as well. Must be my OCD kicking in.

I like the petty blue. Originally concidered it, along with B3 blue, and 1967 seafoam turquoise green. The color chip in the books for plymouth 1974 lists it as basin street blue. I am building a scale model of a Richard Petty kit kar 71 dodge dart short track stock car. The kit i am building is made by AMT/ round 2. They however recommend ford "grabber blue" for the paint. How i ended up liking 1967 daffodil yellow out of looking at all those blues and turquoise i will never know.

My car was originally going to follow the chrysler/petty kit kar theme if that had been a project that chrysler started in 1967 instead of 1971. The original idea for my cuda is that it was supposed to be a hard edged short track race car that was street legal. Petty blue was to be part of that plan. Eventually it evolved into making it look restored, but with short track race car trickery hidden behind a stock body and full interior.

I'm not sure of the shade of volvo blue your looking at, however a local reputable auto body supply should have color chip books for american and domestic swedish cars.

I am sure you know to wear your PPE when spraying paints and primers, however if your local autobody supply sells Sikkens products their paints are especially toxic. Bad enough that in the late 1980s the U.S. EPA grandfathered in the shops that currently used sikkens products, along with requiring special precautions when using them, and i believe not allowing new shops to yse their products. I must say though, Sikkens paints and primers are great. Their paint is tough, very tough. Bird poop doesnt even stick to it.
