Re: Green & White 73-87's

My '73 was originally 'lime green metallic' and white. I plan on someday going to the original paint scheme but using the 'green apple metallic' that's currently on the roof. Here's how she sits now...

Re: Green & White 73-87's

My son's first car... Merry Christmas present!

Came with a 350, SM465 and NP205. 14-bolt rear and 4.56 gears on both axles. 4-wheel disk brakes and a 3-inch suspension lift. We put in new carpet, dashpad and headliner. With peel and stick underlayment its pretty quiet. There's some minor rot at the door corners and front fenders but looks solid otherwise. Next up will be a clutch refresh as we have the rod adjusted to within a few threads of the end. Motor is good but carb is probably ready for a rebuild too.

Re: Green & White 73-87's

Just got my K5 back from paint. Synergy Green Metallic.
The top is green too.
I had to have it after seeing the C10 they did on Fast And Loud.

Here's my '76 with the original green & white paint - really looks like something from the '70s... because it is.

Re: Green & White 73-87's

Yeah that wide of a strip would be hard to curve without wrinkles. That's what my concern would be. If does look great other than that. Hopefully you can get it fixed properly.
