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

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 many colors(my Crayon box only had 8 colors )

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!
If that lasts you six months you must drink slooow and hide it from your friends
x8 on the original color maybe some old school air brushing

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. Mick

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.

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...

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

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.

Jeff..I COMPLETELY understand the contingency aspect of the mfg. stickers! Am I correct in calling the color Rallye Green? I appreciate the pics! BTW...what is Chuck's last name? Is he from Minnesota?
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 Ron

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.

Paint it like this,,,,then you will have all the colors you liked covered.... lol
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
