Ahem... Gentlemen, you have had many months to submit your objections if any.

Yeah, it's orange but in the flesh I am liking it. Sideart with a white border and black t-molding will bring out its potential.
Can't wait for the objections when I paint the front white. And the crowd goes wild.

Hey, everyone seems to like a good DK Jr resto, and look at that putrid color! Besides, if it's too hideous and Mrs Bones won't let it in the house, he'll be re-painting it toot-sweet or sending her to stay with me, so either way, we all win. ;D

You are actually not far off the mark with that comment....
The colour was inspired by some of the hideous (yet common) colours of the later 70's and early 80's. My hope is the finished product will have a retro feel.
Under the glow of my garage lights it has taken on a filthy mustard type appearance. With the suns rays the orange becomes more intensified and convincing. I may have accidentally created a hippy mood-cabinet.
I chose mustard over the other colour description that I could have used which is of course "baby ---Cleavland steamer---".

Wow thats turning into an excellent looking cab--You should apply to the government for giving people of reduced stature (or little people) job's painting the insides of cabinets--i wish i had a kid for stuff like that....damn child labour laws. :angel:
