Here's me latest project I'm working on. The question is what color should I paint the hard top? All Wimbleton White, all Green to match the Bronco, or Green sides with White top section. I like the Green/White combo. I don't like all white on this truck since nothing else is White. Thoughts??? Thanks!!!;D
She'll be going on the block when I get her done. She's a 74 Ranger 302, AT, PS, new 31 BFG's, new bumpers, glass, rubber, weatherstripping, lenses, brakes, and more. Full Ranger interior. ZERO rust, before, during and after paint shop pictures. Painted back original color. Pics of her in original paint. No Bondo. All panels original except front floors, and fenders (existing were cut) and I wanted uncut.

Completely white... it just looks wrong any other way no matter what color the body/accents are (in my opinion).

I'll have to look it up, I think it's Med Green Met, or Bright Green Met. I have the code, it's a 74 color.

If you're doing for you I would say green sides because that's what you say you like. If you doing it to sell it, all white would be best. You'll turn off some buyers who think you're trying to make it look like a land cruiser.

Good point, that's why I'm asking.

WoW man, Very Nice!!! That is one clean ride buddy.

I'd say white as well for the top. Never been a fan of all same color.

I am in love with that color!!! I have been looking for that kinda green. The closest I could find I like was rescue green. But this one now tops my list. Post up more pics.
