Purple is a very popular color for hotrods. Traditional flames stand out good on a grape purple car. My '51 will be a medium dark grape purple.You don't know what you've got til it's gone

Me buy a hot pink car? maby when I become color blind to the color red. I like purple hotrods, Hot pink could look cool if it was done to the right car. Generally, pinks do look nice on late 50's cars when done a 2 tone pink and white combo.Originally posted by Streets
Paint it "HOT PINK".... Then Matt167 will buy it!! hehehehe

Pink looks good on a female-driven race car Matt. That's all I can think of.

That was done by spraying a color over a "lace" doily, like the side of this body I bought many years ago.Mike Casella

Welcome to CHR. I think that you need to hook up your vacuum advance. At part throttle when cruising you have less air and fuel in each cylinder, and the air-fuel mixture is not as densely packed...
