I haven't moved along as much as I would have liked but here is some pictures.
I have been fighting a cold lately and don't feel like working so here are some of what is going on right now, even an off brand car and the elves that work here. :smilielol:

Dave, what is the green color code for that superbee? That car looks great. I wonder how that color would look on my 73 challenger when i get to that point. The vinyl top really sets that off too. :wow:

Hey Dave,

I think this Challenger will be one of the more outstanding cars on this website buddy.  I really dig that new look color you are applying, because it stil has that original look charm to the color.

Are you open to suggestions about stripes or can you tell us what your plans are in that regard please.

 :woo: Way to go.

I'll have a guess and say it is F6 Bright Green Metallic.
Dave will most likely have the PPG Base coat Clear coat formular for that car aswell. :2thumbs:

That is F6 used in 1969.
There is a 2006 Mopar color that is very close to it. I don't have the number here with me but I can get it if you like.

You wouldn't believe the hassel to get that color, someone removed the original color sample from PPG'S library so there is no base to go from, but with a little work we came up with a formula that matched an original piece. I hope to never have to go thru that much work again to get a color!

Yes I would be open to some ideas, I'm thinking of maybe some carbon fiber hood stripe and something on the side ' just not sure yet.
You really need to see this color in person to get the full effect of the pearls that are in it, it has a almost chrome effect.
