If so, a member of the old guard of the forum would like some help. Years ago, the restoration of my Torinowas chronicled on this forum. Now my fiberglassing bodywork is coming undone and I am looking at redoing it the right way. I am also thinking about a new paint scheme. DAvid Pearson was known for driving an Acapulco blue and sunlit gold metallic car in 68-69-70. I love this era of nascar. So as I see it, these are the pros and cons of each side.

Pros to white : it is an original white car, a lot of things about the car has been done in a concourse manner, it will be much easier to paint the car back white, as I would have to paint things like the inside of the fenders, The bottom of the trunk lid and hood, and door jams. As a college history major myself, I may appreciate the car being white mourn I would anything else, since it's a original white car. Original things include an original risqué engine, column shifting automatic, and bench seat

Cons to new paint job :it will be much more work to do, but it would look more like a racing car, and it will be a new paint job. I have driven the car and 20 states, including to Florida and across country to California, and then on about 10 racetracks and have photo documentation of this with the white paint job. Blue and gold it make it look like a whole new racecar make that stuff look obsolete.


So my dilemma is this, if any photo choppers want to take this onto their hands. I wonder what the car would look like blue and gold, with the wheels and tires it already has, but with a blue and gold paint job, no decals, no number, just blue and gold. Remember, the colors are acapulco blue and sunlit gold metallic. I am posting photos of my car the race car and cars of each color if someone would like to use that as a base.

 

 

 

Photos of a gold car are here. Hard to find Acapulco blue on a Torino. That color was available on mustangs not Torinos that year

Ok, I have an adobe photo element 12 program that I got along with my new Cannon Camera, and I also have a few other programs but I am not as experienced in creating as I would like to be, but I whipped one up for you. I think I would have the best result if I printed the photo then colored it and scanned it back in.

 

here is one I found

 

I want to see what a gold top on it will look like though

 

 

Wow, thanks for helping put the top on it. I wasn't able to do it with my limited skills.

 

Thats VERY nice, thanks!
