ok, cool, never knew that  :2thumbs:   

I had sleepless nights over colors for my cuda  :pullinghair:      most difficult decision  :woo:
Right after I bought the car I found a picture of a 1970 cuda in sassy grass green. so sweet... but around the time I was going to order my paint, there was someone in my neighbourhood painting a 70 in that color and another one was imported... ( maybe 20 barracudas in total here, so.... ) and now it will somewhere between orange & yellow  :22yikes:     even after painting the inside and underbody in that color ,I had my periods of doubt.... terrible experience    :scared:  :violin:    green came to mind again, silver was looking great too...  :bricks1:
I hope to get it ready for paint in about 2 weeks and I`m sooo glad I sticked with the orange  :woohoo:
I`m sure you will be happy with your choice.    thats really cool with e-bodies...they look great in any color...you just have to like the color  :2thumbs:

How big is your palate?...Does it need to be a "Stock" color?   I think the darker the better

If your up to getting the body strait enough....GO BLACK


Have the B5 toned darker.


If it must be a classic color I would chose A4 Gunmetal


NON original colors I like MEK's


Ever heard of Black Cherry?

That looks like my car with the R/T hood instead of the T/A hood. Oh and which B5 blue? EB5 (69-70), GB5 (71-74), KB5 (75-?), or the new B5 (2008-present).


Don't forget "Electric Blue" B5 which can be seen on PT cruisers and trucks from 200? to present. My idjit paint mixer almost made a gallon for me before I caught his mistake. Now I wish I'd gone with it since my GB5 came out too light!

I really REALLY love the new burnt orange ( copper colour? ) that's on some newer Dodge trucks and the newer Charger! :droolingbounce: At Carlisle this past summer I saw a few e-bodies painted that colour , looked awesome!. There is a member on here with a 70 Cuda painted that colour too!  Member is sadil340.

Brad, I think the new color is "Sunfire Metallic". Pics don't show in that cuda thread. Must have gotten lost with the last uploader dump.

I was SO close to pulling the trigger on 1969 Q5 for my car. I absolutely love it with a white top and gut. It does not pop nearly as much against black though imo.
1971 Challenger (OO==== ====OO) getting close!
1970 Challenger (OO########OO) long ways off
