Randy Kern Posted September 15, 2008 Share Posted September 15, 2008 I wanted to do this in a '70s street machine style, with a close to factory color like the mint green Chevy had. I used Dupli-Color Hampstead Green Metallic for the paint, Cragars and tires from the Revell '37 Ford kit, engine wiring and hoses, solder exhaust from the muffler back, with aluminum tube tips, '60s style tach on the column, and R&M Co of Md resin valve stems. Thanks for looking! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Daniel Peterson Posted September 15, 2008 Share Posted September 15, 2008 I had that exact car, same color and everything...except it had rallyes insteat of mags...and a six...and an automatic. Come to think of it, it wasn't an SS, had a flat hood and was a good bit larger. It also went hrough fuel filters like nobody's business. You know, I suppose this means I like yours a darn sight better than mine. Great job! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jeff Johnston Posted September 22, 2008 Share Posted September 22, 2008 In 67 that color was called Emerald Turquoise, and it is one of my favorite GM colors...great build. I like the fact that you gave it that mean hunkered down look, yet did so with the Drag hood and bigger rear tires. Very tastefully done !!!
