    Well not like green green but a shade of it non the less. my index finger hurts from the spray cans:rolleyes: i got half the car done here are some teaser pics... o and the engine is in and all hooked up preety much. im super cool guy with my block hugger headers i got from roadstar (thanks again for bailing me out on that) all i taste is paint yummm:cool:

    o yea the color does not look like that in person. this color photographs really odd. last time i took pics it looked yellow today it looks cream allmost. o well those going to autorama will see it i guess.

    here ya all go!

    It's a flaming lime HERPIE now!!!!:eek: :D

    I like it much better than blue...or black...it's Groovy in Green (as opposed to Pretty In Pink!) for sure...an improvement any way you look at it!!

    That thing is friggin sweet!

    Time for some stupid new guy type questions:

    1) Did you paint it in your garage?
    2) If you did, is your garage attached to your house?
    3) If 1 and 2 are "yes" then how bad were the fumes inside your house?

    Thanks in advance...

    You should save the boogers and float them in resin to make a matching shift nob. Then the car will have a some of your soul!

    You know they have those little 'guns' you can slip over a spray can and squeeze a trigger like a regular paint gun... :)

    Looking good. The progress is inspirational!

    yea those things ****! i tried one again for like 2 seconds then threw it back on the shelf.

    and trust me its still a ba*****t job, theres more dirt on it then on the floor it seems. its for sure a 20 foot if not 50 foot job but what do you want for 70 bucks worth of spray paint haha

    The mean green machine, what color are you going to paint the scallops? Are you going to attempt to run some kind of grille this year?
     
  16. Keep this in mind when you squirt your scallops...

    Looks great Bryan! Can't wait to see it with the scallops. They'll be in that metallic green that's on the dash, right?

    Nice to see oldsmobucket there too...kinda miss 'er.

    its rustoleom american accents or some goofy **** like that the name is "green apple" i had to go to two stores and buy them out of there stock last night i got 14 cans but it took 9 to do it.
     
  23. Nope, cream, I think that green would be nice as a pinstrip color.

    I can try and help you get your wheels in that candy spray, I think I know how to spray that stuff so it lays out flatter for you. PM me.

    Holy Toledo Dirty Tart!!

    The Herpie looks SO good in green!!! I CAN"T wait to see it at Stray Kat!:D

    Do the wheels in pagan gold or something. Or throw a big fat sunburst style cap on there.

    Either way, I LOVE it!! Can never go wrong with the color of money.

    Does this mean I won't be pinching your tail lights come Saint Paddy's Day??? ***depression***
