Okay, I've read and re-read and can't find anything that mentions that Sweet paint color you used or brand, layers, flavor etc.
Did I miss something?
Your color (here on my screen) is a Dark almost bluish/black sinister green. Black in the dark, light hits it and POW.

Ain't fair to keep it a secret I tell ya. oh btw, bed wood looks good too.

LOL....Bomp you crack me the hell up ...

Sinster Green about says it all....It's a deep dark green with a gold flect through it. I wanted something that looks black almost in the shade but when the sun hits it there is a ton of i reffer to it as break meaning that the color changes across the curves.....Then we cleared the hell out of it and it has not yet been polished and won't be until it's all put together....and then the white stripe .... we added a hint of the green to give it some effect...and a little pearl thing going on. Ps....it smells like Mint and it tastes like crap just saying.

[wutnxt]

Well it took me longer to get all of the steering figured out.....But it's roughed in right now. Flaming river floor shift coloum....32 spline coupler to DD shaft...24" of stainless DD bar ( which the extra slipped right into the coloum ) And a block to hold it all in place. I just have to take it all out and drill the set screws spots and drill and bolt the top. P.s yes there is alot of wire in the cab but I put in a bunch of extra stuff so hey.......lots and lots of wire...

It's based on a VW color and then we messed with it a bit...for the record I don't want Bomp not sleeping at night...lol

Okay so ....if you look under the stereo...you will see my A/C controls that are sunk into the dash. This is kinda stupid but when we took the old radio steel out we cut it,chopped it,and hit with a hammer until we made that recess then placed it back into the bottom curve of the dash.So when I am working in the cab I just can't help looking at that and smiling....but I really dig it

[wutnxt]

Has been coil shopping, I want to keep this truck a coil truck no bags for a change....I need to do 5"drops in the back and 3" upfront. It's way to high for me and she needs to be lowerrrrrrrrrrrr but still shopping

[NEWFISHER]

I like the hvac mod. Nice clean build!

Hey thanks....
I think it turned out great but I bet there was a easier way to do it lol...

[jlsanborn]

The re-purposing mod is really cool!

[Low Elco]

Eibach coils for a 73-87 for the front? Used 'em twice, great results both times.

[wutnxt]

Well making some progress....Got the box onto the frame still have some work to do for mounting but nothing to serious. I might have to take it off to put my filler in the back so I won't get to carried away with it just yet.

[wutnxt]

Thanks to a beer fridge and the boys for showing up to lend a hand with putting the box on. Saved me a bunch of work and probaly a few scrapes here and there.....I am starting to dig this colour

[Bomp]

Yes, I dig the Sinister Green too.
I was thinking I'd paint mine Dirty Money Green but Im waiting for shots in the sun of yours.

Ohh so many things come to mind, can't wait to see "dirty money green"

One of my best friends has a 67 LeMans painted very similar in color. It looks amazingly green in the sun, black at night...

Very nice, your dash looks great all around, not just the AC controls !!
