Finally getting to put some miles on her. Had to stop at Home Depot to get a quick fix/patch. I'm waiting on an upper door kit from JBG, and my windshield was contacting the door at speeds.

Anyhow, still piecing together my tan interior.

Legend Lime, modeled after the 2006/2007 Mustang, originally featured on 67/68/69 mustangs.

PPG # 43567, I think.

There's a C10 or some early Chebby LWB truck that's two tone, essentially lime green w/ a white patch through the middle of the body. I would see him around South Austin, and know that my color was going to look good. I was originally going blue, then I saw another member's bronco painted Lime gold/white, and it evolved from there.

This is the other member's bronc:

Nice rig looks awesome;D


Thanks. It hauls ass too. Gotta be careful.

351, AFR heads, BC exhaust, Edelbrock carb/manifold, E-cam. (added discs, PS/PB)

It will completely light up the 33's from a roll, anytime I get past 1/2 throttle. It's still the 3spd w/ stock 3.50 gears. If I felt like slipping the clutch on 2nd gear, I'm sure I could roll them as well in that gear. I've never been above 2500 rpm in 3rd gear. Don't need to on the highway, from what I've driven so far. I need gear, and an NV3550

White. It's off a newer year (mine's a '68), so I have to drill it before installing it.

Nice ride, I really like the whole look of it.. Enjoy it. One small detail, not trying to be picky. %) You should take the front wheel off, mask your hub and rattle can the part of the axle housing that sticks out past those wheels. :) I love that green color. Nice choice.

I see that, the front axle, & the rear axle everytime i look at the truck. I should've done that before painting. After it had been painted, I was detailing the column w/ some black, and thought i had everything covered up, but lo & behold, lttle black paint spots showed up on the fenders. I've been reluctant to spray anything since then, and my time is always limited. It will happen.
