    Time for the full paint



    I'm going with orange – hok sunset pearl. This is borrowed from moparmuscle - it's Mac McGinley's - it's the look I'm going for - same wheels too

    Paint it what you like, i must admit that i love it, and i know when you look in to the engine bay of a car with no engine to contrast that it is a lot too look at especially with so many different angles for the color to bounce off it gets blinding, BUT in saying that, imagine the engine in place and a smooth clean green finish with gentle lines changing the green ever so slightly.

    I hope this is convincing you to go green because i do not know how long i can keep it up for.............. :smilielol:

    Look at it this way, the engine bay is already done so the outside is the only bit left :jumping: :woo:
