Paint isn't original, hence the plain silver body.

Looking good, needs Rogers stripe kit

Yo. checking in. Got A GT. kinda beat to hell. had some dumb women drivers hit me. I flipped it on its side, and nailed a downed street lamp fixture. still driving.

What about lime green stripe instead of the silver? doesn't sound right, but I think it could work. I'm a fan of orange too, but maybe not whole car. Anyway, I like!

My car is orange and has always been "my color". My 3 boys all want some version of orange on their cars. Next boys car will be white with orange.

Daughter had to go and mess it all up and like yellow.

That's pics of my sons car that towery took a few years ago before we started working on it. It was just moss. Washed right off with a psi washer. Car is rust free for the most part.
