Happy, happy, happy...Got my Bronco out of paint

[edmedlin]

Finally got my '75 out of paint. Doesn't look too bad. Drove it some today and it runs great. The winds here in SW Missouri were howling at 35-45 and it was a handful over 55, but still great.

Nice color! It looks great.

Nice color! It looks great.

Thanks.. It is the original color with just a tad of metallic added. Cloudy windy and nasty day here didn't really help. Drove it directly from the paint shop to home. The trim was all powder coated along with NOS bumpers.

I like the matching top. That color looks good that way.

That's a big moment! Congratulations!
Looks great!

That was a tough decision. The paint guy recommended it. I was going to go with the wimbleton white... He said "be different". That's when I decided on the powder coat trim and bumpers. Mirrors, door handles and all. Glad I did. Just something a bit different, but keeps the EB look. It was already cut when I got it. I might take it back at some time. Right now, I will enjoy for awhile.

That is a joke we all have on my cousin who lives so far back in the Ozark hills here that she needs to have air pumped in. We joke about all the pollution her liquor still puts into the pristine streams.... All in fun. We might be a little country out here, but hell, it's a nice area for an EB. That is a hog sucker, known to like corn liquor.

They did that new fangled Dupont computer match thing where they use a digital photo process to match the original color. It looks deeper than the original, but I'll take it. The "brow" over the windshield looks "different" to me, but I have to look at some others. It may just be the color throwing me a curveball. Maybe my old age too, who knows.......... Weather going to be nice tomorrow, so off I go back into the hills and get some of the body shop dust off it.

If you catch one don't ever put it in that beautiful Bronco please. :-X

Don't worry about that. No pig fish will ever see my Bronco

Don't worry. I would prefer the one with the ears anyway..... I think you came up with a great name for that color. Cappuccino it is. There is no real name for it since it is a Dupont digital made-up estimated color and tweaked a bit to blend with the dash and what is left of the exposed interior.

It really is a beautiful color. I love subtle neutrals, so classy.
