Ron McCall's Blue #1889

I have been debating on several car colors lately.  I have finally narrowed by choices down, but I'm going to think about it for a while.  Here's a car color I like on the Pantera, and may choose:

Ron McCall's Blue #1889

I wanted a red car originally but have since changed my mind.  Several Pantera parts vendors have said that red is the most common color by far, with yellow close behind.  I don't want to be one more in the crowd.  Ron's car color is "Arrival Blue", common on GM cars.  I saw a paint chip at TK Customs and loved it, but realized that it's a metallic color with pearl and aluminum flake.  I'm normally not a blue fan, but I appreciate a nice solid blue, which this is nearly 99%.  There is less than one percent violet in it, but I'm told that the violet helps prevent it from having a greenish tint.

Ron's car has some really classy Halibrand-style wheels, probably with lugnut covers and spinners.  I like the wheels for sure, but I'll probably go for a 5 or 7-spoke gray center/polished rim wheel.  Notice that the car has 180 degree exhaust tips coming through the AC condenser opening under the rear license plate.  I won't be using 180 degree headers since I'd prefer to keep the AC where it is supposed to be.
