big-phil Posted June 6, 2009 Share Posted June 6, 2009 All block sanded today. Ready for another coat of primer, more block sanding. He's had the car for 2 months. He has other projects also. Long way to go:( The color I'm going with is 2007 Dodge Charger Sublime Think the cops will see me coming? Flares, air damn, hood vents, rear spoiler, and tail light suround will be flat black.

Magnum380Z Posted June 6, 2009 Share Posted June 6, 2009 looks like its going to be pretty cool when you get done with it. I Like the color ! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DavyZ Posted June 6, 2009 Share Posted June 6, 2009 Big Phil, you should have gone with Elvis Cadillac pink for the color, just to match the Elvis vibe you got goin' on--it would be hawt!! Davy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Turbo7MN Posted June 6, 2009 Share Posted June 6, 2009 I've seen that color in person, but not on a Z... good choice . Nice wheels too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cal Poly Zmanaustin Posted June 6, 2009 Share Posted June 6, 2009 That will look very similar to Rob Fuller's car. http://www.zcargarage.com/photo-gallery/zcg-1970-datsun-240z.htm Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LowCarbZ Posted June 6, 2009 Share Posted June 6, 2009 I like the colour you finally picked. Great choice. But yeah, the cops are gonna see that thing coming a mile away. hahaha. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TrumpetRhapsody Posted June 6, 2009 Share Posted June 6, 2009 9.5's all around, or 9" front? Car's going going to be nice with a real paint job, you won't miss the roll on rustoleum? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
big-phil Posted June 6, 2009 Author Share Posted June 6, 2009 I called Rob Fuller to get his color, but he wouldn't tell me so I picked this one. 9's in front, 9.5's in the back Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Magnum380Z Posted June 7, 2009 Share Posted June 7, 2009 Sublime.. I think Datsun borrowed a couple of Mopar colors in the early 70s especially curious yellow , I have seen this color on more than few S30s Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cygnusx1 Posted June 9, 2009 Share Posted June 9, 2009 Is it just me or does anyone else want to squeeze those cars down the long, cold, wet neck of a Corona! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
djbit Posted June 9, 2009 Share Posted June 9, 2009 You should go with gloss black Rustoleum again;) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Oddmanout84 Posted June 9, 2009 Share Posted June 9, 2009 Is it just me or does anyone else want to squeeze those cars down the long, cold, wet neck of a Corona! Haha! I wonder if that was a factor in the decision process!! Nice color choice, phil! But you might want to repaint the valve cover to match... I've actually been considering the same Rota wheel setup lately that you're planning on (mostly based on a tire deal I'd be getting from a local Z owner). I hope you get your car back on the road soon, I'm itching to see new videos! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cal Poly Zmanaustin Posted June 9, 2009 Share Posted June 9, 2009 I called Rob Fuller to get his color, but he wouldn't tell me so I picked this one. 9's in front, 9.5's in the back I wonder why...it's a factory Ford Green. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
big-phil Posted June 10, 2009 Author Share Posted June 10, 2009 I wonder why...it's a factory Ford Green. I found an article that said it was 1970 Mopar green go. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

josh817 Posted June 10, 2009 Share Posted June 10, 2009 Mopar Gringo eh.... Don't make me pull out a whip so you'll be on time. Actually, I'm only at the primer over the body work section, but once thats done and I sand with 400 grit then its off for sealer, base coat, and clear! I'm scared Dad may beat me silly if I don't have mine done and put back together by Saturday. >_> Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
