Yes,green.I just figured out how to post pics of my own.I have no earthly idea how to post pics from another site,or Ebay.I ssaw an explorer Sport Trac on Ebay with the color I'm having my car painted.It's a medium green with metal flake.Not lime,not deep hunter green.Very subtle.I get tired of seeing the same old colors all the time,and I really don't want this "gold" sandalwood color either.I wanted a color that isn't screaming for attention.

Well,I like it a lot.I haven't seen it on a car yet.It'll be subtle,yet stylish.I stated before,I don't want the car to have to scream for attention.I think it'll do a fine job with the mods and subtle additions I'm making to it.C'mon guys.......truuuuuuust me.

Couldnt help it......"Famous last words" :hick:  LOL
 
Im actually picturing it....I think I agree it oughta work well. FWIW thats like my favorite color combo for an Excursion.
 
Im lovin the tails too vin, reminds me of my friend's 88 Beretta, he put the sqaure vette tips on. But having the bumper cutouts is even better. Certainly a unique ride you've got there.
 
Also I LOVE that pic of the burnout in the blue bird. First of all that kicks ass that the town would do that, second its just a neat, shot, third seeing your son in the passenger seat there. Ah....someday I'll be doing that and it'll be my son...and that will be very healing for me :(

Just don't rush on the kids.Enjoy the younger years as a single guy.Be ABSOLUTELY ready when you get married.Now,back to the car,I will have the green,but not the gold color.I'm not reinstalling the side trim btween the fender openings.I'm looking for the exhaust tips I need as replacements.The Sport also has new badges (not factory,but still Ford parts) tucked away reay for the paint to be applied.One step at a time.I'm trying to be methodical about it.Trying.

Hmm, I'll admit I like that. Kinda like a modern Sage Green.

Do it!

British Racing Green with some nice chrome wheels??? thats what i was thinking about like 1 or 2 months ago might look good on our cars.

What about the Green you want and maybe some 03-04 Chrome Cobra Rims in 4 lug?

#1 engine looks ready to go to a car show

#2 i like the bumper cut with the exhuast tips

#3 the car looks like its in good shape just needs a little paint nice work so far

Thanks Pimp.I have to finish the engine compartment.I have to do some painting,install the coil cover,remove all of the rubber vaccuum lines and replace them with metal lines,and a few other little things.The body is actually in great shape.Whoever had the car before me had it repainted and from what I can tell,didn't really sand it first,so I'm removing a LOT of paint so I can get to a good foundation for the new coat.I have my brand new Hella fog lights sitting on the shelf waiting as well.I'm also FINALLY going to get the sequential light kit for the Sport.That'll rock.My silver Cobra R wheels stay.I had thought chrome,but nothing else is chrome on the car except the exhaust tips,so,I wanted to calm the look down a little bit.No spoilers either.On the outside,I want it to look like Ford could've done it.Every week I'm getting a little closer to the finished project...........not that it will ever REALLY be finished.

Those tips are sweet. I always wanted to do some cutouts but body work just isn't my forte.
