The new paint is more of a true green, without any brown/gold in it. It uses a silver metalflake, but overall I think it is a similar shade of green as the dark olive, just better looking in my opinion.

We debated the color choice on this for months, going back and forth considering many colors. The choice was always go back to the original dark olive which is very nice, but changed our minds when we saw this newer color.

**Hart_Rod** · 07-26-2006, 10:34 AM

Nice color! Keep the pics a comin'.

krue · 07-26-2006, 10:51 AM

Very nice work! Can't wait to see the finished product.

**70C10Toejam** · 07-28-2006, 08:26 PM

Looks great. Mine is the Dark Olive also. Think I'll go with something darker though. Saab used to have a great color "Midnight Forest Green", looked black unless the sun was shinning on it.

PanelDeland · 07-28-2006, 11:17 PM

Didn't you say you were just going to tune it up and change the oil?

corn · 07-28-2006, 11:39 PM

And I could have swore you told me it would be sitting at the body shop for over a year! Got a 16 year old keeping it a little more on schedule? Lookin good Tom...corn

corn · 07-28-2006, 11:51 PM

Hey, where was your body mans old shop at? Seems like Ive been there before. Strange. Did it happen to be attached to the old NAPA store down town?

Yep, thats how it starts, then while we are at it we might as well fix this then that and ......

Corn, yeah it was supposed to be finished in March, been there since November, have been riding him pretty hard to get in gear, all of the rest of the major parts are in primer, just need sanded again and final checked before painting, should happen next week, cab was on the frame today when we stopped by. I don't remember a NAPA near there, but could have been.

**Green Machine** · 08-17-2006, 12:32 AM

Here are a few more progress pics, slowly getting there. Body shop is just going to hang the major pieces, we will be assembling everything else soon I hope. Had to take these pics with an old camera, our good one is broken, so the colors are off a little, the previous pics in the paint booth are actual color, but you can see the old tailgate in the background for reference.

Tynee · 08-17-2006, 03:09 AM

Looks great!! That is one really nice color choice.

longhorn70gmc · 08-17-2006, 03:57 AM

boundstaffpress · 08-18-2006, 01:10 PM

Great job. Looks like lots of fun.

**Green Machine** · 09-03-2006, 11:22 PM

Well, its finally back from the body shop, so thought we would post some progress pics, it really needed washing as there is polishing compound all over, but I think it looks pretty good, --- SOME ASSEMBLY REQUIRED ----

**Green Machine** · 09-03-2006, 11:24 PM

Some more

**Green Machine** · 09-03-2006, 11:26 PM

DAMN nice job and awesome color!!

**Palf70Step** · 09-05-2006, 05:35 AM

Very Nice!

**Green Machine** · 10-19-2006, 08:51 PM

Been making some progress since we got it back, engine and tranny are in, some trim back on, lot of detail work on wiring and under the dash/heater area, but the coolest thing so far we think is the NEW WHEELS AND TIRES !!!!

Had to use the old camera again and the light is not too good.
Can't wait to get it finished so we can drive it !!!!!!!!!!

jimmydean · 10-19-2006, 09:33 PM
