Indigo Blue
The GM Indigo Blue on my ERA FIA (2039) looks too purple in the bright sun. Maybe it was the type of paint (Tony painted it) but watch out if you want a real dark blue all the time. I think there are better ones out there.

You can't go by the "name" of the color. My color actually has the word "beige" in it and when I told Walt at CCC that I wanted my Cobra painted beige he told me he would do it, but first insisted that "I think it over" for a little while before I gave him the final go-ahead.  |

You bring up an excellent point, and are right about the purple. A few of the Indigo samples that I looked at had a tinge of purple and for a lot of people, that is exactly what they are looking for. Other Indigo cars and samples I looked at had a decidedly blue hue to them when in bright sunlight.
I actually looked at a lot of different paints on cars and on paint chip samples. There also seems to be slightly different interpretations of a color based on the name, and both Guardsman Blue and Indigo are two such good examples.
It really comes down to the actual paint code (PPG code in my case) and not the paint name. Although I have not seen the car yet, I know that CCC ordered the correct PPG number and would assume the PPG paint manufacturing process is very consistent.
The bottom line is that the car is painted and I won't absolutely know for sure it's exactly what I envisioned, until I actually see the car. |

Well here it is ...
This photo was taken just before the car was loaded onto the truck at Connecticut Custom and headed back to ERA. Walt & Diane did a great job and the color is just what I was looking for 
It's back at ERA and I am working with Peter on the remaining details of the build ... a few more decisions yet to be made. It's starting to seem a lot more real now, can't wait until it's assembled into a roller, then put on a truck and headed out West! |

While I'm a big fan of Torq Thrusts, I would run FIA's either in the natural cast finish or paint/powdercoat them white. But that's me. What do you want?
I almost ran FIA's on my 427, so I really like the wheel. |

Couldn't go wrong with either one. I wanted to use TorqThrusts but couldn't with the larger brakes -went with Vintage 427 style wheels on my FIA. Nice wheels look great.
