My guess is it's House of Kolor and they look gooood. I used a red of theirs on my Nova and people always wonder how I got it to look like that. It's a beautiful color, especially in the sunlight. The only negative thing is it's not an everyday paint and when I go to the store I have to park it far, far away from all cars. Even then I worry that when I get back to the car, it's going to get a key job all the way down the side. Cecil.......

Smorange, Blorange, Glorange...they all rhyme with orange. Too bad nuttin else does.

That there color is REALLY nice! I'm a sucker for orange cars...and just about anything else orange seems to catch my eye.

I'm really lookin forward to seein your finished product. I bet it's gonna be one real sweetheart.

Since we sold our orange 67 Camaro, I'm thinkin about this primer-gray 63 Nova that I've got...It ain't too late to re-think some things and turn it into a Creamsicle. smile

I was originally gonna paint it yellow, since whe had the orange Camaro. But then we bought another 67 Camaro (a yellow RS/SS) and sold the orange one. And I don't want to yellow cars. Although my torch red El Camino is almost exactly the same red as my wife's 04 Blazer. Hmmm...May have to repaint the Elky purple or something. smile

Hell...if I could just stay outta the hospital and get well long enough, maybe I could actually get summa these things done. I just spent a lovely coupla days havin yet another angiogram. They found a new, up til then undetected diseased artery. But the technology to clean that one out isn't available in the US. I spose I could go to Denmark or Holland....but it's more convenient to keep takin Nitro. That way I can say I'm runnin a "fuelie." smile

That color is OFF THE HOOK!! I love it. As far as a rhyming word, I found the following:

Dan Warner, of Fraser, Mich., writes, “Can you supply me with a word that rhymes with ‘orange’?”

To answer your question, I got in touch with Hilary B. Price. As the cartoonist who draws the strip “Rhymes With Orange,” she may be the world’s expert on this subject. Price told me, “Marilyn vos Savant, who writes ‘Ask Marilyn’ for Parade magazine, claims there is a word ‘sporange.’ But the word is not in my dictionary.”

“Sporange” isn’t in most dictionaries. It does appear in Webster’s Third Unabridged and in the enormous Oxford English Dictionary, both of which say it’s a variant of “sporangium,” a botanical term. Webster’s Third gives two pronunciations for “sporange”: the one you’d expect and “spuh-randj,” with the accent on the second syllable. “Spuh-randj” is the only pronunciation given in Oxford. So although “sporange” looks as if it rhymes with “orange,” whether it really does is debatable.

There is a hill in Wales called the Blorenge—but that’s a proper name, not an ordinary word. Hilary Price told me she didn’t know of any single rhyming word, either. “As far as I’m concerned,” she said, “the closest rhyme is ‘door hinge.’”

This old truck sure looks neat, but where are the heated seat controls?!?

Thanks for the informative read. Well the firewall and door jams are now painted and I am just waiting for the tow truck to take the frame to the shop. Will mount the cab and finish of the engine work and hook up the air conditioning. I will try to post some more pictures tonight.
