HANELINE @ THE 2018 LSRU




Met Scott and his employee from Haneline at the LSRU 2018 and we discussed fabricating the insert material for Abalonia's instrument bezel. Whether I provide the material or he accesses it for me, Haneline has the right equipment to make my dash panel's drum-wrap material a reality. 

Now if only I had my final gauges figured out....

Good people and looking forward to working with them.

Here's the kind of thing I have in mind for the insert material in the gauge surround.

PAINT COLOR REFERENCES

Came across this 66 Impala for sale and had to share it as it's the color I have in mind for my roadster. It's a much silver as it is turquoise. And it sure looks nice with a light interior color. I'm thinking silver or white would be the perfect interior color.

My thought is to use a Pontiac engine color for the 327 to stay in the same neighborhood and to contrast it with a silver or pearl white paint for the frame and other components.

ADDENDUM: Just cruised the Barnes & Noble newsstand and saw a great car in Street Rodder magazine. A 1964 Mercury Marauder owned by Dick Uhlenkott. The paint color it used is 2004 Honda Millenial Lake Havasu blue. IT looks like its a color they used in 2004. The only problem is, the color looked varied on the different pages of the article. Doh. If it's this color, I'm all in:
