Default Blown apart!
Well it has finally happened. We blew the car apart this morning, time for plumbing on the frame, etc. I plan to replace the frame horns now, and finish a few welding jobs that need completing. I have to finish both the front and rear shock mounts as well.

I plan to paint the inside of the car with POR, then seam seal it. My real dilemma is what to do with the outside......I'll probably do some body work and paint it flat black....but on occasion I'm tempted to leave it as is....and then once in a while I think I'll straighten the body out and give it a real paint job.....what to do, what to do....

Please no flat black, either leave it or finish it off or even another satin color. Car looks great and so many cars are flat black. I went with a satin metallic brown and I think it looks great.

Ok not trying to hijack but maverckmk here is a pic
This is the best pic I have of it in light right now. Still working on the car and all other pics of the body on the chassis are on cloudy days. By the way it is rustoleum oil rubbed bronze which is 9$ a quart. I work in automotive paint industry and know it's not for cars but if I were to ever fully do this car up I would strip it down for bodywork anyway. Best 20$ I spent on the build.

No worries, I'm not feeling hijacked at all....I appreciate all the opinions, and welcome more, on colour/paint.

Gottkts...I think that's a fantastic colour!

In it's day, the Graham was two tone - black on top - down to the body line just below the windows, and some sort of drab/medium olive from the line to the bottom. I've also considered the original....or going with the medium olive, possibly in satin for the whole car.

I'm open to suggestions....

Default Frame work
So, finally got around to lopping off the ugly frame horns today....and have these just quickly clamped on to make sure I like the look.....so far so good.

Frame horns look nice, where did they come from?
