Thanks! It is the factory original color..Turbine Bronze Metallic
Done in Dupont water-borne base/clear.
1.6 gallons of paint,and two full gallons of clear!!
Basically the clear was four coats and one coat was cut down during the wet sand,buff and polishing process.

Finally got the time to update this thread.
2018 has been an awesome year for me.
As i stated,I did travel as planned this summer in the 68 Newport Custom aka BoaB
Back in May my gf and I entered the Mopar Madness show in Liverpool,NY just outside of Syracuse where the BoaB took 2nd place in her class!

From there I drove the car back to show the previous owner who had bought the car in 1970.He was second owner and the car was a fresh trade in at West End Chrysler.
When I bought the car in 2005 the deal was to show the car and take him for a ride when it was done. He was blown away! Now in his 70's I did what he wanted to do to the car.

Next road trip was Carlisle! People Stateside whom had been following the build of the car for 12 years finally got to see the car in the flesh at Carlisle. I was humbled and honored by those who stopped to talk and enjoy the car. One FCBO member "CANTFLIP" even jumped a plane from Florida to be at the show!
It was HOT! But we managed,Maggie Dexter and I.
For the car's first national show debut,the BoaB got 2nd lace in 65-68 C body stock and also Celebrity Choice award!

We drove to D.C. to visit the Air and Space Museum!

We overnighted in Newark DE where Maggie busted me chamois the car after the freak rain storm that flooded Washington where we were hours before!
Next day visited the Dupont family Nemours Mansion.

Next stop was unexpected but no regrets.
Drove through the Brandywine Valley and we ended up adopting Pepper! A lab/beagle jack Russel mix.

This may sound crazy but this was on my bucket list..
Drive to eat the BEST cheese-steak EVER!
About an hour from the SPCA office...
We pulled out the lawn chairs and ate next to the football field kitty corner to the shop.
When locals tell you this is the best you believe it!

Very Stoked!

Shown here at a rest stop somewhere in Quebec.
