Ok, my car:
https://static1.pt-content.com/images/noimg.gif
It does have a SS hood, and I have fixed the fuel tank issue... no more 2 gal gas can.
I'm thinking a cheap Satin Rustoleum Olive Green or Hunter Green with Satin Black for stripes, bumpers, trim, ect... I have a paint gun and compressor so this would be like a $50 paint job, just without the whole foam roller thing. The paint on it was done to seal the car up right before I went to college (I'm done now), there is still some bodywork to do. My goals are to look decent @ 10ft. I would rather focus my time/money on the suspension, engine, and drivetrain. I just dig the whole army green beater idea. I think the F-Bomb has more attitude then any car I've ever seen, and while I'm not going to copy it directly, it is definitly an influence. I do know what went into its paint (much more work then I want/can afford at the moment).

What do you think? I do intend to paint it down the road, but thats not untill I get a place with a better garage, or a better job so I can afford to take it to a paint shop. Do you think the paint will hold up for 3 - 5 years? How do think this would look on a '69 Chevelle vs a '73 Camaro? Should I jsut paint it flat black? What to do!?!
