Whatever you do Mikey, dont paint it PT Cruiser Electric Blue Pearl, because I am probably gonna paint my next GL that color again seeing as I only got to enjoy my last GL a short while. I wouldnt want to of us in the club with the exact same blue if at all possible.....

I found the PPG code for Apple Green L64M, and my painter went to the paint store and found out he can get that paint but, yes there HAS to be a but, I can Only buy the thinner and hardener for that color in bulk. So to avoid buying too much or too little. I had to change the color, it won't be "apple green" but it will be close.
The bulk suggest to me it's used by Fedex or someone with green paint in their logos, cars, motor bikes... Zen, I met Charles at Circle Yer Wagons, and saw him again at Bug Jam. He seems like a good guy to me but I think we have it figured out now.

We just got done building a '51 and it was a basket case too. It was painted a kind of teal green, very nice color. But the '47 will be a mat-black, plane jane. We pulled the windows out of the '47 and I kid you not, there are holes under all the window rubber except 1 of the rear windows. It is rotted almost all the way across the dash. If it was anything other than a split it would be trown away.

A '47, that should be saved. Give it a roof chop, cut out the rear window & b pillars & smooth the dash - Proper Bo' Custom

About the only thing good about it is the rear window, dash, and package tray. Everything else will need work.

As for the color, i think Plum Crazy Purple would look awesome. As would Grabber Blue. I think a split window smoothed in would also look awesome. Cant wait to see pics of it though.
