Beautiful car! One of if not the best cal-looked ovals I have ever seen. I love that gold color too. All the molding really sets it off. WOW! Shocked Shocked Shocked Shocked Wink

I'm curious as to the color.  Is it a custom mix or something from a production car?  The rear shot with the deck lid open looks similar to my Butternut car done in 1971 Corvette Warbonnet Yellow.

043 heads by Jeff Denham.  Engle K-8, Scat 1.4's,

Great looking car and 'old speed' looking engine.  Like the decklid standoff.  Thinking about getting one for my '58; are you happy with it?
Thanks

Thanks for the info Dick.  I'll have to look more closely at Mustangs to see if I can find the color.  It looks very similar to my original Butternut color some 40 years ago and I haven't seen anything close to that except the photos of your car.  The one exception is a car in Europe that is a recent build which I guess you'd call a "Tribute" example to my car.  Here is the link that shows my car and the Tribute.  http://cal-look.no/lounge/index.php/topic,15303.0.html
