NEW HERE, HAVE NEW PROJECT LOOKING FOR ADVICE
HELLO ALL, NEW HERE. I'VE DRIVEN CHRYSLER PRODUCTS MY WHOLE LIFE IN FACT MY FIRST VEHICLE WHEN I WAS 16 WAS THE 1990 DAKOTA CONVERTIBLE WHICH WAS THE PROTOTYPE AT THE DETROIT AUTO SHOW IN 1989 (I BOUGHT IT USED IN 1996). ANYWAYS I ACQUIRED A CLASSIC CHRYSLER CAR LAST SUMMER AND ITS BEEN GETTING NEW LIFE AND WILL BE DONE LATER THIS SPRING. WE TOOK A 1949 DESOTO COUP AND GAVE IT A 21 CENTURY UPDATE. SOME MAY SACRILEGE, SOME MAY SAY SWEET! SO TO DATE WE REMOVED THE 109 HP INLINE 6 THAT DID ZERO TO 60 IN 4.5 MILES AND GAVE IT A 6.4 LITER 410 HP TRUCK HEMI, ELIMINATED THE FLUID TRANSMISSION AND GAVE IT A TORQUEFLIGHT 8 AUTOMATIC, MODIFIED THE SUSPENSION WITH A 3 STAGE AIR RIDE, AND ARE UPDATING THE ELECTRONICS AS WELL. THE CAR ORIGINATED FROM CALIFORNIA AND HAD VERY LITTLE TO NO RUST AND AROUND 74K IN MILES. NOW THAT THE SUMMARY OF WHAT I'VE GOT IS DONE, I'M LOOKING FOR ADVICE ON COLOR/PAINT SCHEMES. IT WAS ORIGINALLY THE PALE GREEN AND THE INTERRIOR WAS REDONE BEFORE I GOT IT IN CAMEL TWEED WITH ROYAL BLUE TRIM. TO KEEP COSTS DOWN I'M THINKING SOMETHING TO ACCENT THE BLUE TRIM BUT I'M OPEN TO IDEAS. ALSO ARE THERE ANY MOPAR CLUBS AROUND DETROIT FOR CARS LIKE MINE? I'M A TRANSPLANT FROM SOUTH FLORIDA. I LOOK FORWARD TO YOUR CRITICISMS AND ADVICE.

Welcome,49.
How about 2013/14 Viper Shadow Blue or maybe the lighter, if you like, older Viper Bright Blue.
I'll suggest starting your own new thread and you'll get more responses.
Just looked up hood ornaments, and I hope you have that '49 only jeweled Hernando.

I've painted for 40 years and in the early eightys I worked for House Of Kolor in Minneapolis Minnesota, I worked for John Kosmoski, just Google him, I highly recommend House of Kolor products. If you use the Designer perarls-PIC SERIES you can save a grand on paint material costs. I have used them on the last three projects I have done. Not matching oem paint colors is where the savings comes in, and the paint and tech. support is great.
