Yeah, and the mods you see are all they need to look super hot. Cool 'n' Classy never goes out of style. K.I.S.S. Whatever color you do, keep it a '68 color. If you paint it a '71 color it will look like a '71 with a '68 clip. I love the medium bronze, but I've known these trucks so well for so long it looks cheap to me to use a newer color. I pretty much like the gold to brown range of shades the best. Medium Gold Poly looks great and that's what a 50th anniversary used (or damn close). I painted a project that way
