MOST everyone liked the original green..including myself!...so,I stuck with a "slight" variation of the F-5. BTW...don't have to worry about the PAINTED...uh,painter,drinking and spraying!....he gave up the juice a long time ago! Whenever I'm over there,all I see is Coke in the frig!

No drunken painter for me! That's funny,,, I didn't think you were allowed to paint cars if you didn't drink beer!!! On a true note, a friend of mine is probably one of the better painters in this area. I was helping him the other day get a '68 Vette ready to paint. He has stopped drinking recently. He said he had never painted a car sober before. I told the owner,,"we have a problem!!"..it turned out OK, but, he did have a couple of minor flaws to correct.

They're so use to being in a certain "state" when they're applying the skills of their trade...that when they quit,and get off the liquor,pot..or even beer...their skills mysteriously erode! I've seen it happen more than a few times in the past! It's amazing how some of these skilled labor wizards do the great work that they do..while being DRUNK..or STONED on one narcotic or another! I suppose primer,paint thinner...and paint,sure don't help the situation,either!

"Oil Can" Boyd, a pitcher, just came out about how he was on cocaine for most of his games. Dock Ellis threw a no-hitter while on LSD, he said he couldn't even see the catcher at times.

Too light a shade of green for me! That's why mine is a "variation"...a tad darker! Basically between a F-5...and F-8. My driver side quarter was actually darker than the rest of the car...which WAS F-5! Can't wait to see how it's going to look with the "shiny stuff" next week! 7066924-GTXONTRAILER003.jpg (144 downloads)

The GTX has been GREEN since 1969...and it's been pretty dependable for me,since 1996!...so why change a good thing? "CHANGE" doesn't necessarily mean for the better!...if you know what I mean!

Randy, car's lookin good, the shiney stuff will change the cars whole additude and give you a sense of acomplishment when finished.
