    The only "crime" would be to try to live with a color you hate.

    Congrats on purchase, good luck with her.

    Paint it to your liking or, if you cant bring yourself to paint it, sell it. No reason to own a vehicle you are not happy with. My 2 cents.

    I'm not a big fan of yellow either, yeah I would repaint it if it was mine. I mean it's your car do what you want.

    When time comes to freshen it up, pick a color you like and put on a new tail gate. Hang the old one in your garage or shop. Gary

    Hell,its yours now.Paint it the way you want. Lose the headers,air cleaner,tach on cowl,clean up the wiring on the engine and you might be happy with it. I for one don"t think the Happy Days lettering on the back is outstanding anyway. You asked!

    Squirt it. I believe that's a unanimous decision, so far...

    That's my thought too, will that tail panel on the box come off? If so, I'd take it off and save it, put a different one on the car then paint the car. It's neat artwork but it's kinda ugly on the car, and I'm not a fan of the yellow either.

    Well, it's your car so personalize it by making any changes you want. However, I like yellow t-buckets. :D

    Why are you asking us? If you don't like it change it. If you can live with it, then live with it. do you conduct a survey when you get dressed in the morning?:D

    I'm just kidding...somewhat.:D
