HA!

Yep. It should be getting primer and paint soon. Mike painted a sample ralley green but original areas like under the trunk lid looked slightly darker than the paint code. He is going to match it and make it slightly darker.

Ralley green is not the most attractive color in the world, but that's how it was so that's what it's going back to.

Thanks Matt!!!

Green is definitely a tough color to love. I saw one post where I think that Slowhawk also might not have been too in love with his "green Bugga".

The 1969 owner (Alfred) also wasn't 100% in love with the rallye green and almost bought a burnished brown plain jane Camaro over the Z/28.

Regardless....it's a historical thing. If the drivetrain wasn't numbers matching I wouldn't be so sure, but since it is and I tracked down and talked to the former 8 owners who kept it rallye green, it should go back to the way it was.

Green is definetly a color for personal taste but you have to admit the early 90's Polo green on the Vette's and the "cough cough" Forest green on the mustangs were pretty nice colors.

Mike showed me a sample today that is real close to the underside of the trunk color. I think it will look great since it's darker than the first sample he showed me.

He took the hood apart to totally get rid of all the trapped rust.




And the body is in primer now.
