Datsun Roadster Forum-311s.org

I'm negotiating for another roadster. (Is it a curse or a blessing?) This one is a '69 Solex car that has been taken apart for painting. Trim, bumpers, a few other things removed, not too bad. In fact much better than what we did when we took my wife's car apart for painting. But I digress. I mentioned to my daughter that the car would be painted and she insists that she gets to pick the color since she'll get the car when I die. Yes, I've taken away all her guns and sharp instruments. But it's really hard to see the true colors of the cars via computer. "Your monitor settings may differ" and all that. So what I need is for a bunch of you to get together and bring your cars here to Flagstaff, AZ so we can see them in the flesh. Yes, it's Arizona in July, but Flagstaff is 7000ft and it's pretty darned nice here in the summer. Don't ask me in February. You don't all have to show up on the same day but it would be ok if you did. Just let me know how many so I know how many steaks to throw on the grill. posting.php?mode=post&f=42#

Buy some speed shapes from Amazon or DipYour car and then have your painter do some samples of the different colors of interest
That's what I did and it really helped to see them in different light and make my decision

Is the Williams get together still a thing?

But it would be better to see them in full glory on the car. Ok, ok, if I need to offer my yard for you folk to pitch tents in for a night or two I can do that. I won't charge rent for the space and you can plug in to the electricity and I've got a hose bib in the front.

As far as Williams goes, of course it was shut down last year, haven't heard anything about this year. But I need to make a decision before October.
