I like the darker green better, f.e. elkhart green or 'british racing green' which is similar...I think it makes the car look more "expensive"
It will look great with the huge chrome wheels

the darker green was the first color i liked about 2 years ago.... i should have did it.....but i think the darker color makes it look a bit tougher.....so that means, after the paint, then a bigger motor (maybe)

only issue with the suicide doors is making one axis of pivot..... the door has 2 angles where the hinge would go so i would have to cut into the door .... i can mount it directly to the birdcage and just mount a latch.....it can be done...i just need to focus for 3 days and figure out the tolerances and motions.......

The lime green is way better. The creme -de- menthe that's on there now is very unique, but I think it looks a bit feminine for this car. It'd be better suited on an old Cadillac.
