You're just trying to get us to move the Nationals to Norwich this year, aren't you ;D

Ok think about this

Black seats, black dash, black console, black carpet. WHITE headliners, door panels, roof liner and back seat panels. Black rear window deck

Across the BOTTOM of the fender seam and around the body lines Slate grey metallic (It's an imron color but I'd bet anybody could match it. Across the TOP of the body lines, metallic grey. 1 inch piping around the windows and doors in slate grey metallic. Red penstripes where the colors meet at the seams. Red/Grey/Black 78 Bird.

I KNOW this combo works. Thats how my first one was painted. And it was a WEAPON.

No unfortunately I don't. Only ever had one pic of that car, and my ex brother in law managed to ruin it.

What if you just faded it from light to dark. Start metallic grey on top, then faded down to the late grey metallic at the bottom?

WOW that looks AWESOME! Question: Why the flat rear window instead of the wraparound? Was the car originally like that, or did you change it over like that?

I changed it, partly because it was cheaper for me to get that one and 2, its easier to Flush mount them, they'll be no trim around the front or rear screens, I had a mate's 10 year old son round, i was teaching him how to spray.........



Operation DESERT SPRAY





Thanks for the compliment Sim,  ;)
