My 68 GTX was GG1 Green,green vinyl top and green interior ,,,with green stripes ...my 69 Coronet was painted 1970 Lemon Twist but was an original F8 Green car ,my 72 340 Duster was Chestnut Brown . Green was the "in" color back then .....didn't you have an Avocado toilet/sink /bathtub and tile in your house ???  lol! ?  

Luckily, no avocado in home, but yellows. I had 70 R/T Challenger 440 4 sp  F8/ green gut/ top, 71 Challenger F3/ green gut 73 Challenger Rallye 340 F5 green gut, out of over 50 Mopars, they were the only green ones.

Installed the grill....found an R/T emblem in the parts dept.,,,,think that was in a Revell Landy Charger kit........the tailite lenses were missing but I still had the surround so I filled the openings with epoxy and shot it Stop Light Red .....installed ........... engine complete ready to drop in the K frame ...I didn't have the proper air cleaner pie pan so I fudged one up with some old Cady decals 

[Scott Eriksen]

I still have to chrome the fender turn signal indicators

Man I love that 440! The detail is awesome!

[Scott Eriksen]

..........engine installed , body mounted...bumpers installed .........the center console top has the 68 on it,,I should have done a wood grain insert for it used in 69 and up

[Moparman18064]

Looks fantastic

[Scott Eriksen]

I'll have to make a grille extension for the hood latch ,,,,have to check the parts bins maybe something is laying around

[Scott Eriksen]

..................exhaust going in ,differential and springs,,,,she's getting a Dana 60 because I don't have a decent looking 8-3/4 around ,,the one in the new 68 vert reissue is that horrible hollow molded one

[Scott Eriksen]

..............have to fab up a tube to make the "H" pipe exhaust ,,come up with a driveshaft or make one and make rear shock mounts and shocks and front shocks

[Scott Eriksen]

.............and install the exhaust trumpets

Gorgeous build.  I will be excited to see how this finishes up.  I had a F5 69 R/T that this so reminds me of.

Great Craftsman!

[Musclecarbuilder]

It looks amazing!

[Scott Eriksen]

........got the redlines today from Hobbylinc ,,,I found a better set of Road Wheels, more correct looking for a 69 with the brushed stainless trim rings,,also found the proper air cleaner decal ....installed radio antenna...she's a pre-January 69 car-no headrests...I'm gonna say she's done

........I was going to black wash the inside of the wheels but I was afraid it would f'-up the Alclad

[Musclecarbuilder]

Man that car looks amazing! I love that color!

In the 70s my house was all Pennsylvania Dutch. It would be a feat to get that pattern on a car body.?

And avocado colored appliances.
