How about EV2 Hemi Orange? I know that was a color option for Dodge in 1970.

Mine will be Orange of some color before long.

Most everything I have is Red.



Bright Purple/Yellow would be a good choice.

I spent about $500 on the materials alone. Lots a of smaller pieces take alot of paint.

I see you got one of the new "quick-detach" driveshafts. They're all the rage.
