with the advent of Ace creating their Richie Evans modified sheet, and the re-issue of the Ridge Runner pinto modified, I decided to build one. came across this online

"GM Omaha Orange matches his early coupes. Yes, people say it's Dupont Swamp Holly Orange but it's hard to find. When Richie built his last coupes and first Pintos, he switched to Ford Grabber Orange. Also, you have to watch what you use as a primer underneath - it bleeds through the orange or tints it. Never use gray primer under the orange! Richie used red oxide primer which would tint the oranges a little darker..."

Hope this helps for any of you planning on building one. Grabber Orange is available in the Model Master custom lacquer system line, it's # 28105 if you are interested. I have a can of that at the house, picked it up when I ordered some red oxide primer (made by both Mr. Surfacer and Tamiya). gonna try and do this one right.
