The copperhead color used on TRUCKS! TV on the spike channel. Not too awful far off from SOM, but still waiting to see a F-body with it!

yeah i know... thats what you get for buying poor quality parts... now I have to get hood pins to make it fit right :tear:

i was thinking dark blue w/ silver stripes or something but that metallic orange color would look pretty sweet too.

Color turned out pretty sweet...its a dark green in the shadows and in direct sunlight its one of the lightest and brightest greens you have ever seen. I will see if i can get some other pictures because the ones i posted dont do the color any justice.
