    I think Todd is Smokin The Green :D

    Looks wayyy better, Now ditch ALL the green ... bring it into the '50s~'60s era your looking for..... Not the '80s~'90s Mini Truck era with the Kawasaki Green.

    Just my opinion though.......:cool:

    the green engine looks good with the green pinstripes. black grill bars might do it.

    A lot of '30's,'40's and '50's hot rods ran Apple green wheels and stripes. The Ford Apple green started with the '30-'31 Model A's and ran at least thru '36 as a stock ford wheel/pinstripe option.Some guys coming home from WW 2 used green on their "hot rods" as well.I guess I'm partial to green as I used to run my own mix of green on my roadster several years ago....They're painted black now.............;)

    Very true, But look at the build difference & wheel difference you are comparing to.

    Yours is Very '40s influanced & 16" Solids
    His is Late '50s Early '60s & had what looks like Chevy S~10 wheels

    LOLOL.. Is that the GREEN fog you speek of :eek:

    it would ALL be better without any green.... grey it all out..

    but if he must keep the green in the front i think he should balance it in the rear as well.. light fogging over the trim ring

    im not gonna back ddown desoto my friend! hahaha

    Hey thanks guys yeah i think i was on acid when the grabber green thing came to me. Its getting a chrome insert soon and the pinstripes are going bye bye I gots me some body work to do I am thinking either bermuda blue or candy apple red (think SWC & Big John). the motor is going chevy orange like a fresh 327 transplant so don't worry I'm ridding this thing of green. It went with what I wanted in my head but in the end it was confused if you know what I mean? now the cars getting what it needs a correct style!

    I vote for foging the rear's "Tires that is!"
    Car looks fantastic!
    Email me shots "Nice big ones" so I can put you on the website.
    Adios all you troublemakers
