Ok, if the shipper keeps his schedule I finally get Green Machine from MadTripper Monday. Because I haven't exactly come completely clean with my wife on the second Patrol yet it will go straight into the mechanic's shop for the few things it needs, then paint and body where it will emerge in about 90 days as CCV5. By that time I will surely have done something nice for my wife that may soften her cold hard heart for another hunting rig.
I'm a veg.....Danny...I can't pick a color. Please provide your input. Each response indicates a vote and highest vote count might very well be selected. Please take these points into consideration:
a). I'd prefer an authentic 60 Series color.
b). The original color seems to be a pale blue or gray.
c). I think I want the interior vinyl and door trim to be either black or gray...but I'm open to suggestions.
d). Patrol #1, or Command & Control Vehicle #4 (CCV4) will pretty much be a copy of Ivan's, flat sand with black trim, that will be for rougher treks, it will be permanent convertible with removable roof rack and bikini top. Stock suspension, we can lose the low end torque with with over spec tires, rear locker
e). Field experience indicates the military green and black trim of my 73 Thing has lesser effect on wild animals than my white truck. But I love the dirty white original color.....but I like every color except the reds, they are out. Love that Turquoise greenish color, what color is that?
f). CCV5 will be a permanent hard top..until I have a lifting frame built for easy one person removal.
g). I think I would prefer a color whereby undercolor chips in paints are harder to see, rather obvious.
h). CCV5 will be driven off road and brush marks will be common.
Repaint Points
a). Exterior color?
b). Interior color?
c). Is top white or not?
d). Is removable back shell the same color or contrast to tub?
e). Black floorboard and firewalls?
f). Dash and glove compartment color?
g). Should exterior air vents contrast or same color?
h). Steel wheels to match exterior, silver paint or black paint?
Naturally pictures supporting your recommendations would be appreciated, but not needed as I know uploading pics takes time away from Patrolling.
Thanks in advance.
