451, No, I don't have pics of the R.Daytona, but check out any '06 (I think) Charger Daytona or '05 Ram Daytona. Was also used on about '02 PT Dream Cruiser and one year (about '01 or so) Prowler. They have a color similar on the Viper, but it's definately not the same (much lighter). I had suspicions about it's multiple use and when I looked up the paint code on each, found out it's the same with a different name applied. Oh, and I recently saw it on an '08 quad cab Ram 1500 without any special package and an '07 or so (what's that replacement for the Neon?). The reason I'm up on the color is it kinda pisses me off when I see Chrysler use it too much. It sorta dilutes the uniqueness of my Datyona. I'm not so concerned when they use it for one year on some other model, but seeing it on an '08 Ram upset me a little. Oh well, it's Chrysler's perogotive with how they use it I guess. It really does make your Valiant look unique and special. Good choice. I guess by the time I get my Cuda done, GoManGo will be old news! ![\/][](http://www.bigblockdart.com/Smileys/classic/finger020.gif) Whatever, I still LOVE the color. Can't wait... |

Thanks for the encouraging words guys. For a while there it was frustrating while it sat idle at the body shop, it's hard to not lose interest when a project grinds to a halt . BUT now that its back I've got tons of ambition. So since getting it home Wednesday the engine trans and fuel tank are in. The rear bumper is on and adjusted and I threw the front "skinnies" on for fun - so I thought I would post a few more pics:  [/img]  [/img]  [/img]  [/img]  [/img] |

CudaSrt8, I hope it doesn't become too popular either. I saw it on an '02 PT and checked the paint code - it was PVE. When the GoMango came out I thought it was a different color from the Tangerine Pearl, but you're right - it's listed as PVE also, so I guess there the same. Don't forget to show us pics when your Cuda gets painted!

451, she sure is lookin' good. I love that engine bay shot with the contrasting oranges, polished aluminum, chrome, etc. Yeah, I need to get some shots of my engine bay mockup posted, just need to figure out how...

Just wait until the challenger comes out, I bet Dodge will start using almost all the High Impact colors. |

Hey 451, beautiful car man, beautiful !
That engine is awesome as well.
What are your plans for the dash, custom gauges ?
How about A/C, aftermarket or OEM ?

Thanks, It's GM (AC Delco) rubber undercoater. It seems to stick well and will be easy to touch up. It comes in a rattle can, and doesn't go on thick. Theres a couple spots where I put it on too thick, but it looks paint in most areas. |
