It's called Copper Durango, but it's Burnt Orange in my book.
Here's a pic of the rear fenders...

Thanks for the compliments...Ironically, I just got laid off from work today.
I'm glad I already have my paint and most of the supplies to get it painted.
We painted the roof this weekend. I'll try to post up pics this week.

Thanks man. I actually picked out and bought the paint 10 years ago...Times are rough and are about to get rougher.
That's the only reason I'm going with the same color.
If I knew then, what I know now... I might have gone with a different color... but, No Regrets!!!
I'm building it to my taste and budget.
We painted the roof this past weekend and I changed up the wheels a lil bit.
I want to post them as soon as i find my dam camera cord.
