Longhorn Man · 06-05-2002, 12:11 AM

I guess that came out a little harsh...
I DO agree with the do what you want...it IS your truck...
I just prefer orange.
Althoguh, the black light thing is makin me go hmmmmmm

JVictor75 · 06-05-2002, 03:37 AM

I love that color!

When I was younger (younger than I am now,lol), I liked the Joker from Batman.

What I envisioned for my truck at one time was a lime green block with purple accents under the hood. Like, say, purple Spectre hose ends and valve covers. The body would be white, and the frame and inner fenderwells would be the original chassis semigloss black. Think about that with an aluminum intake and a leetle bit of chrome here and there.

Then for the interior would be grey tweed with personalized designs imbedded into the headrest of the truck using the green and purple theme from under the hood.

In other words lime green rocks! It's a B#$%h to keep clean though.

NSANE68!!! · 06-05-2002, 09:50 AM

COOL!! It does look good. I painted my blown small block this color about a year and a half ago. The Black light thing really sets it off too. I would post a pic but can't seem to post from MSN anymore. CHECK MY LINK IN MY SIGNATURE. The engine pic is on the first page. Later

imaindianoutlaw · 06-05-2002, 10:02 AM

Ya that look kewl! Not sure about the purple though! Yellow? maybe Cast gray?

Super Chevy · 06-05-2002, 04:02 PM

Im gonna paint the block green,heads,waterpump green..
the intake and valve covers are alluminum,chrome timing cover (no,its not the cheap one,its an $80 one ) chrome accents

NSANE68,your truck is killer ,i hope you don't mind,i set your engine as my wallpaper

**Desert Rat** · 06-05-2002, 05:27 PM

NSANE68!!! · 06-05-2002, 07:52 PM

MY ENGINE PIC IS SOMEONE'S WALL PAPER!!! THAT IS SOOOOOO COOL. Hell no I don't mind, I think it's a hell of a complimant. I like things a little different, and believe me when I pop the hood people FREAK. It's funny to watch their face's, that color is just so LOUD!!!

bouncytruck · 06-06-2002, 01:55 PM

I have actually been thinking of painting the Blazer that color. With that paint, I can match the engine to the truck!

Dan72cst · 06-06-2002, 02:24 PM

I'm asking myself if its better than pink....I guess I'll put them in the same category. LOL I know its your truck, but I'm still getting used to my wife's suburban(93) motor being black.

okietruck · 06-06-2002, 02:48 PM

That lime green makes my eyes ache. But to each his own.
