"Hey, I mill and sinter Zirconia (Yttrium stabilized ZrO2) fun stuff"
That is really cool, you work with some very special materials. I am glad that Swain Technologies, Rochester, NY, is pretty close to me.
Yeah, the colors are now what you would expect from a 1960's hot rod. Believe it or not, that was the original colors for that car.
Crystal Blue, I for get the code...oh, here it is in my Buick 1969 dealer book... Code D. The vinyl top is bright white.
I felt that, given what we were representing, a USAF Fighter Group; that flew Red Tailed P-47s and P-51s, we would keep the red, white, and blue theme going.
You could look at it a number of ways: FIRST:
You see, the Red is for Red Tails of our fighters and blood our guys shed fighting the Nazis. The almost black Twilight Blue, Code E; is for the Black guys who flew the Red Tail planes that defended the White guys in B-17 and B-24 Heavy bombers. The Blue is for the skies where our fighters found the enemy. The white is for the billowing clouds that made the sky even more beautiful.
SECOND:
We believe that peace is the way to go. So our car isn't an aggressive solid red or solid black thing, or even a wildly painted ram rod. Its cool blue, calm white, with a bright red splash to top it off.
And so it goes,
