    The color was supposed to be fiat sage green but was mixed wrong and didn't have enough white mixed in. This caused it to be just a little bit darker shade . I found this out when I had to get more paint and it didn't match.

    That seat looks like it was Dodge Caravan before? Upholstery did great on cover, was it a custom made cover? Looks really great!
    More pics,more pics! I can't get enough of this, I daydreamed about building mine exactly like this, just lack time,$,motivation,skills & balls to go that green. You really nailed it.

    IMG_0656.JPG I got the mufflers installed last weekend. Maybe I can get the engine tuned right without the neighbors wanting to kill me.

    That is a fine looking ride...the only issue you have is your thread title...not even close to a pig. If it were mine the only thing I'd change would be skinny period tires front/rear....but that's minor shit...looks right.
