Rebuilding the coupe!

[tickled pink]

Just a single color again. My last four race cars have either been red or black, so it's time for a change. Plus, it would be hard to compete with the beautiful black paint on Syd's coupe!

Thanks Joe! I'm sure the paint job on yours will look killer! I can't wait to see what color you have chosen!

And the color is.........

Bud Light Blue!

Well not exactly, but it's the closet thing I could find. It's actually a new 2010 Ford color, code SZ "Blue Flame metallic". It's on the Focus and F-Series, and on Fusion for 2011. I see it everyday at the dealership and ALWAYS like it, so I know it'll be fine on the coupe.

It's been a long day for Mike in the paint shop, but he has everything finished except the doors and front fenders. The body will be completely wet sanded and wheeled for a perfect, smooth finish. Reassembly will start after that, probably in another week or so.

Thanks Mike, I love it! It will take some getting used to not seeing the black paint anymore, but I am really pleased with the new color.
