okay, as he worked on the steel, i had to decide on paint. i think i flipped flopped about 5 times.

it starts to turn green for some reason, and I cannot remember how or why.

sure, lots of rust. and i didnt want a concours build. so The Man did his thing and I really didn't pay over much attention. There was definitely going to be more steel than there was before : ) i tried to ask for a B-grade budget and job, but it wasnt on the menu. "gimme the cheapest salad" did not work this time.

this was a low rust car, but not what you think. everything 'low' was rust. the floor rusted up an inch on the vertical panel on a couple of sides

I like two tone "avocado green" with white , a lot. Beats my "green with envy" deffinetly.
Was trying to find photos of car, few years back on bird, "sea foam green" - that was "go to" collor back then for me.
