i wanted to do piss green.... then i found pics of the one :( stole my color

planned seat foam wheels in a neonish blue.. polish lips...

orange works with trim color... :P

thinking 14" castlets... polished up.. i have a set w center caps even... a set of funch's id like to see how they look on it... aka old 911 wheels...

id rock a 2nd set of phone dials... i could do a higher off set in back, give it ~25mm more lip then up front... to fool you to think it a dune buggy... need to do this with funch's imo... just still not found a 2nd set of dials for 100 yet (how much i had in my inital 4.. the 5th was 100 alone needed spare for kubvan).. much less funch's

OK, so you were never an art student then.  Just get a color wheel and a spinning arrow and say "God awful body color" and spin the arrow.  Then say "seat color to match" and spin it.  continue with trim color, pin strip and rear tail color. 

When you come away with the army green, with lavendar seats, aqua trim and orange tail plate don't ask who painted that.  Take pride my man.  It will be a keeper anyway you do it up.  Waiting for next years pics for an update.

Happy trails my friend!  May your days be full of photos, and your nights sleepless from road tripping like a boss!  8)
