They all thought I was crazy sticking to the original style metallics and not going with the new "brilliant" cut flake. Ha! I know what I want ! It's dead on to the sample I have.

My first real muscle car was a 70 bench seat L78 4spd...Forest Green. It came from the factory with a 3.55 non-posi....and power steering. I drove a couple of years and then decided to make a few 'improvements'...engine rebuild, crazy GK solid lifter cam, headers, 4.56 posi, Mallory coil, dual point distributor, etc.

Somewhere there is a photo of that car [I hope]...it had the decor pkg. with rocker trim and pinstripes. Mohawk Super Mag 60 tires on Cragars...Thrush Hush header mufflers...those were the days.

Looking forward to following your project...let me know if I can help in any way.
