Btw, David Howard from Absolute Bodywork on Deland, FL is doing the body & paintwork on my 1302.

He is fair, honest & knows what he is doing :)
He is also restoring a 62 Beetle for himself.

Sandeep June 30th 2003 09:23

Great work.

vujade June 30th 2003 20:41

Zen, I told my body guy (David) about your situation. He said that yours done bodywork & paint arent done by the time mine is done, he would get yours in their next if you wanted.

Mine will be done in 3 more weeks including all body & paint work.

Superman June 30th 2003 22:04

Joe, repaint same color?

zen July 1st 2003 07:46

i think my guy is on the final stretch. i will try to see it through. but will have that in mind.

vujade July 1st 2003 07:46

No, as much as I like the color it is now, I have decided to go a little deeper & brighter.

I will be using Electric Blue (2003 PT Cruiser)

vujade July 1st 2003 07:51

thats good news Zen.
Hopefully we will be done about the same time :D

I am going over to the bodyshop today to pick up some trim pieces (to have them powder coated) & my bumpers & headlight rings (to have then dechromed)

zen July 1st 2003 07:55

that's going to look sweet. did you get your c/f on order?

vujade July 1st 2003 07:59

I went ahead and ordered my Blue Carbon Fiber Running Boards from Joe yesterday.

I held off on the CF headlight rings & bumpers because I wasnt sure if I would get them intime for the painting of the car. So I am having my chromed parts chemically dipped at the chrome shop to remove all the chrome.

I will order my CF interior parts as soon as the body & paint are done and I decide exactly which parts I want to use from Joe.

As far as the decklid goes, not ordering one of those until I see the finished product.

Racelook July 1st 2003 08:36

Vujade

Will it be painted in the same color???

vujade July 1st 2003 08:47

Racelook
 
I just answered that question a few posts up.
I even posted a picture of the color.

Racelook July 1st 2003 12:49

My excuse i was forgotten to look on the second page:rolleyes:

Nice colourr..

Keep up te good work,

Wiebrand

vujade July 1st 2003 12:54

No worries...:D

cre8iv1 July 1st 2003 15:40

that is a great color choice...if its the one I am thinking of...

I saw a pt cruiser turbo in an electric blue color at night and the paint had this glow like it was lit up.....the color will look great on a bug..

vujade July 1st 2003 16:09

Its going to look awesome I think we some blue carbon fiber accents :D

Supa Ninja July 1st 2003 17:04

I'm glad to see you Supa is coming along nicely. I can't wait to see how the paint turns out.

In 1990 I painted mine 1988 Mitsubishi Electric Blue, since Chrysler owns Mitsubishi it's probably the same color (see link).

vujade July 1st 2003 22:20

it looks close....not sure if it is the same or not.

the pt color looks lighter to me

Superman July 1st 2003 23:21

Yes I believe you're right. I pulled up some pics online and compared the two and the PT color looks lighter with a more silver base tone. The blue I really want I've seen on a Huffy BMX bicycle.

vujade July 1st 2003 23:52

James

Yes the PT color has alot of silver metalic base tones.
I think thats why I liked it so much.

Originally I wanted to paint my car silver.
But there is already a really nice 67GL here in Florida on the
show circuit and soon Zen's car will be silver too.

Superman July 2nd 2003 00:36

I'm waiting to see someone paint their car Jaguar dark jade green, it looks black at night.

vujade July 2nd 2003 06:46

isnt Samcat's 1303 painted that color?

zen July 2nd 2003 07:25

make sure that you send me some pics to include in the project section of your member profile for the site. i need to post a bunch of mine too.

vujade July 2nd 2003 10:21
