*****BLUE*****

I think It's the right thing to do.
This car is known in the registry
Pete Myl Chrysler Plymouth - On the door
Tom Myl Owner - His name on the fender
1967 National NHRA Champion On the C pillar
Power By Arlin Vanke
Sponsored by PLYMOUTH
Blue - first color it race in
plus I think the blue will look good with the black engine bay and the other black area's

If the red was done with all of the above, I would have said red is the way to go. I do think the red is an awesome paint job.

Why I did not think Red was the way to go.
Just Tom Myl name on the door
2nd color

Yes,

Apricot = Yellowish-Orange

Ed Miller's BO29 was a little darker, with a slight trace of red in
the tint.

I saw that BO29 many times {1968, 1969, 1970}
* Dover Drag Strip
* Lebanon Valley
* ESTA Safety Park
* New York National Speedway
* Connecticut Dragway
 
We like blue!:cheers:
Lol, can you send some of that blue paint this way?

Yeah... I guess in some old photos Ed's BO29 looked "RED-ish"... But it was Apricot Metal Flake... (Lots of Metal Flake)

2nd picture does look RED-ish... 3rd pic looks more like I remember it... :cheers:
