Not working Randy. But I have seen the SS six pk Runner many times including in person and I love that color. Your X is going to look great. Ron

I am a big fan of Rallye Green. I would like to paint my 69 Dart that color.

Thanks for the compliments,Dave! I have a LOT of thinking to do on the colour(Canadian spelling,eh?)I DO like the factory F-5..if it's not done too light! My Canadian buddies,Ron Wilson and Kevin Peltier supplied me with enough Sleeman's and Molson Brador/Canadian to last me another 6 months! Bless You Boys!

Your car would look best with all the factory trim and the F5. Just my opinion.

X6 for the original paint.

Although that green is a very nice color, I dont like it on a big B-body. Your original colors are meant to be.

What other choices are you giving us Randy... I like
the green on the RR you show... thats quite a bit different
than the green on your car... post up your car and some
other colors that you MIGHT like.... I dont know that

Thanks for your thoughts,fella's! Ted..you're more than welcome to come for a little visit..and partake in drinking some of the "Good Stuff"! Mike...I like the Rallye Green,as well! But,I can't say I like it any better than the original F-5! I like them both! I also like BLACK...certain shades of BLUE..MAROON...and REAL dark red...like a Black Cherry! The entire car will be re-done,so I can go with pretty much ANY color! Just wanted some opinions on this DIFFICULT choice! BTW...here are a few samples!

Keep it the same colour( english spelling ) and spend the money on having your heads ported, then you'll get that 10 you've been chasing.

Greg..Yes..I'm not a big drinker,by any means! But,I do enjoy the taste of a GOOD beer once in a while! And Mr. Mike(P-Body)can confirm,I do share my "stash" with GOOD FRIEND'S! Air Brushing?...that's interesting! I had the same thoughts...maybe a little sumthin' on the roof line..along the c-pillar...like the lace work on the Project Six-Pack car! Give me some ideas,if you have any! I like unique designs! There's an oldtimer around here...I believe he's in the Mt. Clemens area,goes by the name "Wild Bill" who was known back in the 60's and 70's for his Gold Leaf lettering!....which has been on my WANT LIST for a long,long time! Green and Gold have been one of my favorite color combos for years!...even though I can't stand Notre Dame!

I've always loved the darker greens so my vote would be to stick with the F5. The F5 exterior with the black accent and interior looks great on that car.

Brad...YES IT DOES! Just before I bought it,some 15 yrs. ago...a CHEAP..single stage paint job was thrown on it! LOTS of flaws and imperfections!...including "marbleing"! It's LONG OVER-DUE! Pictures do it a WORLD of justice,believe me! If ANY of you have pics of B-Body's...especially GTX's and Road Runner's in DARK RED,or Black Cherry,could you please post them? I'd REALLY appreciate that!

I would look at paint chips from Volvo they have a killer green on their charts..

Gm pickup green is actually really nice when its fresh with thicker mill clear than factory clear..

and the dodge pu truck green for 04 is very close to Ralley green...

You still looking at having your frame/rust issues taken care of? Best time to do it is before new paint. Let me know if you still would like me to do it.

Randy,
Might be too risky given the value of an "X", but have you considered loosing the vynal top?

My dart was a vynal top car and I ditched it when it was painted. Also got rid of the drivers side fuel door on the rear quarter...nice clean look. Again...not sure you'd want to alter an "X" quite that much, it's a big decision but something to ponder....





Good choice staying with green as its a great color on an "X"...either one will work IMHO

Thanks,Jeff! Those stickers on the side of the RR sure take away from the over-all look of the color..which I LOVE! If you have any more,please post them! ......Bill,thanks for your opinion,and pics of that NIICE swinger! My X does not have a vinyl top..unlike the Rallye Green Super Stocker,that Jeff posted.....Kerry,thanks for your opinions!..appreciate it!

Randy I have one more on my home computer, but have to resize it to post it here. Chucks car actually has a painted top. The stickers pay money if you win so I can understand having them, but the car is a VERY nice piece.

Stubeck is his last name and he is from the California area. Moparts member "Troy" is friends with him IIRC. Not sure on the correct term for the color. Never been a numbers matching type. Heck I painted my Dad's B5 matching #'s Super Bee, Viper Red. It's what he wanted.

Hey Randy

I like different ; my triple black car was originally light green.

Paint it whatever color suits You !

Personally, I like maroon/dark red in that body style but black is allways a good choice

Hey Randy
You're welcome my "brother from another mother".
Next year you'll see the Coronet instead of just pics.
It was a toss up for me between F6 and Snakeskin green.When i walked in the shop after it was painted i initially thought what the hell did i do.But then we rolled it out into the sun and loved it.

Gotta admit..that Bee sure looks nice in RED! Now I'll have to SERIOUSLY look into the DARKER shades of RED! This choosing a color ordeal sure is tough! Kevin..I'm glad you like the color you chose! BTW..Ron,because of the Tigers and Lions successes lately...the Red Wings are playing 3RD FIDDLE!!! Who woulda thought that would EVER happen??? Not me! Like the ole' BOC lyric from yrs. ago.."City's on Flame" sure describes the Motor City right now!

LOL... back when I was in high school my buddy painted
his 64 Ply with a multiple of colors... it blended
from a maroon in the front to a gold in the rear...
it was a sweet paint job(and I'm sure it cost him
a pile to have done) .... for me I only had the 8 crayon
box so colors to me are hard to figure out.... but I
know what I like when I see it

Geeeez!..you guys are a LOT of help! Dougie,that paint job is definately not my style! Ray,R6 on the Runner looks good! Can't believe how high the body is jacked-up,though! Raff..I think I liked ALL 8 colors in my Crayola box when I was a kid!..maybe that explains my dilemna!?!!!
