Well we're going back in the new car with the same Camel Tan that came out of the white car so there really shouldn't be any problem with that. We already got 90% of the parts, in the right color, already. The only parts we're really going to have to dye is the trim around the T Tops And Doors which will have to be procured elsewhere and then dyed, but from what I've been told that really isn't too much of a problem.

We've allotted a timeframe of Christmas/New Years, but it might be sooner.

I was thinking dark blue or dark green myself. I might still shift color, but as of now, it's still white.

Think that would be 4Speed. He's got a pic of his car in his sig about 3 posts up. Ok I hadn't anticipated starting a new page. About 3 posts above your last there, RainMan ;D
