I am trying to find out the code for the Gunmetal paint job on their fastback but i can't find a single detailed site about it, anyone got a lead for me?

 

No, but I have the code to this color ==>>

 

Hmmm, that's nice looking, kinda like a dark pepper gray. Is that yours? What is it?

 

No website that I've found, BUT....

"2001 Ford Windstar Gunmetal Grey"

You are da man Cloney, thanks. :worship: Now all I gotta do is scour the malls looking for an 01' Windstar to see what it looks like in person, lol.

So uh, who'd ya have to kill for that?

 

Very clean and tight car there Layne, super sweet. After seeing this type of family shade/color on a 69' I think it's how I'm headed on the rebuild. I like the subtle graphic on the side too. So does the ice blue clear show up more in person than the pics? I like the color just not feeling a blue tone from it.

The color in my head I have been looking for I think of as gunmetal, but I've seen close shades called SteelBlue, Blue Anthracite, Blue Graphite and countless others. I defintly want to feel the blue without it being a blue car though. I never though once I narrowed down the family that the choice would still be so hard. i know alot of people think paint is just paint but if I'm going to shell out the cash I want it to last and be just right, it's makig me nuts though.

 

The photos do NOT do the paint justice. It is much lighter than it appears. And, yes the blue does come out. The Ice Blue we used is a very small Mylar flake. So, it creates a blue sparkle more than a tint. Another thing you can't see in the photos, or in shop light for that matter, is the Platinum Pearl Ghost LeMan's stripes. But man, in the sun, they jump off the car!!!

 

pak, what did you end up doing with your car?

 

I took the slightly smaller check and kept the car, I'f I'm lucky I'll have it on the road again by summer but we'll see. So much to do and so much money to spend.

Layne, that does sound hot I must say, I wish it would photo, I din't even see a hint of stripes on there.

 

thats good to hear

 

oops.

 

dont know if anyone cares anymore but here is an official Ring Bros website.

Your welcome. I just read an article about them in our weekly newspaper. So i figured i'd post it. I remember there was interest in it awhile ago. I have a good friend who I work with who grew up with those two guys. So I hopefully will meet them very soon. Send questions you want answered to me

 

I saw one of their new cars this weekend at the Route 66 cruise-in in Springfield, IL. All I can say is OMG that is beautiful workmanship. The Mustang there was just freaking gorgeous. IF I can find a pic I will post it . Unfortunately www.ringbrothers.com is just a "coming soon" page .

Here are a few pics of that Mustang I was talking about. I have more, but these are just the ones that I have had a chance to pull off my camera (Warning - Large pics, haven't had a chance to adjust the size).

I saw that car in their shop as it was getting built. !st time I've seen the final product. That thing looks so good. Pics look good but seeing that thing in person is just amazing!!

 

Boy, these guys really have a thing for the 65-66 Mustang eh?

Not sure how I feel about this one yet, it is interesting though. What do you suppose they are using for the vent on the front fenders? Kinda looks like a new t-bird piece.

I have actually thought of adding some type of forward vent to my car for some time, I think with the elimination of a side indention on the 69' that it is a natural for that.
