Great forum, I already recognize some members from others sites. Here is my project. Gran Coupe, bought it as a roller some years ago.
Sheet metal work and paint job done now. Originally 318 car, will be 383.

Welcome @GCragtop (https://forum.e-bodies.org/mlist/gcragtop_492)    :welcome:  Thanks for sharing a photo of your project.  The color looks really nice!  Is it F8?

 :welcome: And I like your car.  :wowzers: Is that F4 paint? sure looks like it. I have an AAR that is F4, but not as shiny as yours.

I'm digging the color.  In the photo it kinda looks like a dark F4 or a light F8.

I hear ya. It is hard to tell sometimes on the two, lighting is the factor.  :cheers:

It´s F8. I´m not a pro photographer, too much light on that picture. That´s waterbase color + two coats of clear + buffed.

 :welcome: aboard Pasi from Germany!  :germany:

Great paintjob you have on your convertible. Did you chose the 383-upgrade instead of going to a 440/Hemi with the purpose to being kind of factory-correct, as the. 383 was the biggest engine available for "not-a-Cuda"-Barracuda?

BTW: thanks to all Finns for NOKIA mobile phones...a shame that this company couldn't defend from being bought by Microsoft and than being run down by full purpose. Those phone were so much better than anything else...6210, 6310, Communicator, E-series, N-series, just name it. Will use mine as long as technically possible!

Yep, more factory correct as 383 was one choice for Gran Coupes.
