Alabama Crimson Red

im building my dads favorite car for him (67 mustang fastback) and he wants me to paint it after his favorite football team. What is a color that looks like the Alabama University red? i need it to be in gloss too [:p]

now that man’s got plenty of sense friend!!! ROOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOLLLL TIDE…ROLL!!! Crimson is all i know my friend!! later.

[:p][:p] [:p] ROLL TIDE ROLL!!![8D] this car is gonna look tight as hell when i get done man, im gonna make the gt350 decal on the bottom white too.

hey, are you able to post pics of your finished builds? if so, email me when you get it done. i’d love to see it. later.

ill probably post them under the auto section if i can get the digital camera to work. it will take me a while to build it, school starts in less that a week [V]

hey, i graduated highschool in 90’, but i still have homework to speak of friend!! i build houses for a living and i’m always on the phone, or estimating the next project it seems!! i do most of my modelling on the weekends and after 9:30pm!! you best to study hard bubba, get a good education, and get a real job!!LOL. just teasing, i love to build!! i’m blessed to have a job that i can enjoy about 75% of the time. i like the building, but hate the paper work.

BTW, what type of digital camera do you have? i have one 2 and its fairly simple to use. later.

lol, sounded like my parents for a sec [:p] i’m aiming to be a mechanical engineer for Ford, i love cars [:p] as for the camera, its a Sony, i can get my dad to charge it for me, i can do the rest from there [;)] ill get to work after i get done with my firebird, i may even start tomarrow because i have to order a replacement clear part for my firebird ( my fatass cat stepped on it[|)] ) im sure youll like it though!

on the color, i would look in the craft section of Wamalart at the acrylic paint. im not sure about Alabama, but i found a great color for my Oklahoma themed '57 Chevy pickup. i wish i had some pics of it. these are flat, so youll need a nice clearcoat to get them nice and glossy. hope this helps. later

BTW, " Its rollin’ baby, its rollin’! "-famous last words of former Alabama coach Mike Price. Boomer Sonner! j/k, i went to the game in Tuscaloosa a few years back, and you guys are some of the nicest fans out there.

i had almost forgotten Mike Price!!! why did you have to remind me?!! what a joke. later.

Just bleed on it … that’s the color they go home looking like after playing up here [:p]

[:(!][B)][V][;)][:D] can’t add much to that scott, TN been spankin’ our butts for the last decade!! but, that series seems to go that route most of the time. we’ll whip ya’ll for 10 years straight, then ya’ll a whip us for 10 years straight. its about time to turn the “tide”!!LOL. later.

Junior -
Have a look at any one of 50 websites that have information about the University of Alabama - do a Google or AltaVista search for “Crimson Tide”, “roll tide” , university of alabama, college footbal teams, but most especially, have a look at the official website for the University of Alabama Athletics, on:
http://www.rolltide.com/home/4097.asp
Much of the website is in the famous crimson that has terrorised so many teams from other schools.
Why not give your dad a thrill and buy him a hat or something as well to go with the car?
Have a look at:
http://www.bamastuff.com/?N192
that’s their website for merchandise.
Good luck!
