We started working on my dads 93 Bronco to get it painted this weekend and said hey seems while we are painting we might as well do yours to, so 2 straight days of body work and sanding there it is.

yeah the wife said i could park it in the driveway even finally instead of hid in the garage.

I liked the flat black too but the hugger orange is pretty sweet too!

Wow, The paint looks great! Is there any specific reason you went with Orange? Was it the original color or just a favorite?

Know what you mean! Painting didn't take so long, but all those many hours of body work and sanding -- I thought it would never end. Doc

i think the original color was red but not sure on that, the orange i had was the 96 special edition mustang performance orange supposed to be the same as hugger. I had it for a 74 super beetle that i redid for my wife but ended up painting that a different color so this has just been sitting on the shelf for 4 years waiting for something to put it on.
