    looking at these pictures, it's kinda hard to imagine it's the same car. i sold the car to a local guy and he got it painted by the same person who painted my "Smurf" (blue '71).
    Needless to say, it's deffinately "Bright Lime".....lol

    He still has to put it back together, but i think it's going to look good with the black panel and black Grabber side stripes. the only thing i dont agree with is that he painted the bumpers the body color..... too much IMHO :16suspect

    Almost green enough...I hope he's going with a complimenting interior. Black is so bland. I'd like to see a tan or red interior there.

    nope, he's going black :yup:


    me too, but he's on a tight budget :rolleyes: if nothing else the black tail panel, side stripes and center blacked out of the hood (hasnt done it yet) should break it up some :thumbs2:

    Color isn't doing much for me, but good to see the car went to a good home and is being taken care of.

    Black interior with lime trim! Lime dash, black pad and carpets.
    Black stripe kit done right would really stand out in a sea of Mousetangs and Camaros at a show.

    I like that car so far, keep posting updates as it gets better!

    It just might be the picture or the computer I'm on, but the color looks more like the 60's Mopar color Lemon Twist.

    I agree that it needs the chrome bumpers along with the Grabber Hood & Tail on it! Bright, flashy colors really need all the prettys that go along with it! :yup:

    I'm just not sure the black stripes, tail and hood panel will be enough to break it up enough.

    It will look alot better once pieces start going back on it and breaks it up some.

    I just got to wondering...

    If this one had dark green stripes and tail panel, how would it look parked next to the dark green one with lime stripes and tail panel?? :hmmm: :D

    I think it'll look a lot better after it's all back together with a nice set of tires and wheels.:)
