Default High School memories just came

flooding back with Molly Hatchet "Flirt'n with Disaster" playing in the background....yes, on 8 track tape. Put some Jensen tri-axis in the rear deck and I will be ready for a ride.

Oh yeah!! We all remember those days. I think everyone had a set of Jensens. Cheaper guys had Craigs in the rear deck. Maybe some Van Halen "Runnin with the Devil". My ears are still ringing from that one.

Default Color Sample

I spent some time and put together a 1:24 scale model of my Z. I have been doing this for customers and it really helps with color decisions since it can be viewed in 3D. Lots of colors look good on a sample, but nothing beats seing it with the body lines. The color is called Medium Sage Green Metallic. The finished car will not have as much metallic as the model, but will be real close to the rear window filler panel I painted up. The interior color on the model is the exact color that the finished car will have.

Not sure if I will go with the decals or not. It looked awesome without and I'm on the fence now that I see them on the model. Feedback would be appreciated here. What do you guys think??

Awesome project. My best friend in high school had a brand new 78 z(his parents car). IMHO i would go with the factory stripes just for the Retro
look. I will definitely folow this project. I like the color green as well(looks similar to the green I had on my 68 firebird back in the day).

I say leave the stripes off it just looks too dated. Or change up the colors of the stripes if you must have them. Why not green and gray stripes?

I don't like the color on the model but the real photos look great. I also think the decals could look good with that color and the interior. That's a game time decision. Once she's painted lay them on, and then it's a yay or nay.
