    spd4me: George Lucas had a bright yellow Cobra also, with hauler to match.


    Alan: If you're going bright yellow...drink more water!

    I think if you drink a cup of coffee and take a multi-vitaminB12 complex pill, if makes a real nice dark yellow color in the pot.

    yellow

    Here is a yellow I always liked, Jag referred to it as "primrose". I have to admit that the bright yellows don't appeal to me but clearly others like them. As it has been pointed out, its a free country so do your thing.

    Lucas

    If I'm not mistaken, the #96 Coventry Motors car is the one with the George Lucas-designed paint scheme.

    Yellow + white stripes looks good.

    The red stripe beside it just looks out of place...

    The fender stripe would likely look o.k..

    I'm dropping the red strips by the wide white ones. I'm going to have some airbrush art work done under the hood and have been talking to some "famous" painters.... Mike Lavallee of Killer Paints and Nub's of Nub Graphix. Mike has been on many TV car/hot rod shows with his work featured and Nub of the American Chopper show. Both do wonderful work and BOTH told me to DROP the red strips by the white. They both, however, liked the red team strips over the fender for the accent it gave.

    QUESTION:.... do the team strips go over both fenders or just the drivers side.... or does it not matter, i.e, either way?

    Yes, wise-guy, I can read. And I can both spell and correctly punctuate a sentence, too ... Quit runnin' that stroked 427SO with all the garage doors shut... you're killin' gray cells!

    I was hoping for more info on, and espesially photos of, the unmarked yellow FIA car in the third pic... I like that one a lot. The other one isn't half-bad either!

    Short of the racing windscreen, I think possibly I could be pursuaded to use that FIA's color scheme. And yes, I was thinking Primrose was the color...

    I thought you might need new glasses.
    Primrose!?! Maybe you can get some periwinkle seats to go with that.

    The Jag in the photo is one I used to own. It has tan leather seats and black top but I have seen them in primrose yellow with black seats and I think that looks better. I have no idea what the heck periwinkle is. Your lifestyle must be different than mine.

    Just had to look it up and found that "periwinkle" is a light blue of some sort. If you figure that might go with a light yellow, well who are we to argue.

    Paul, the only info on the third photo is that it is from Shelby's racing department sales photos. the building in the background is the Shelby American office in LA.

    Thanks Rod. It would be a neat change of pace from all the other FIA cars out there... maybe!
