I cannot remember seeing a successful green. (I cannot wait to see Big Gaz's toxic green ford powered Jaguar XJS on the salt. I believe he chose this colour to annoy the purists and it should be a site to see...)

Here's a picture of it side on + another that shows the colour better + another just for the fun of it. I haven't posted a build update here for probably a few years now....

Rev - He chose the greeny colour because it is a Ford colour and he liked it.





Sorry to hijack the streamliner page boys!!!
Love your work by the way!

I think Ford called that color "Bilious Green"  :-D

Bilious is so bland!  :mrgreen:  I was thinking it was more like Mephitic Meconium Green.  :evil:

Speaking of bilious green, a few years ago I drove my green Porsche 911 to a convenience store, parked next to a beater pick-up truck with a tatooed biker sitting in the passenger side, watching me shut off the engine and climb out of the car. He looked down at me, stroked his grizzled beard and announced "Nice Porch'...shi**y color."
I thought so too so I had to agree.

The correct response would have been, "Nice tats . . . ugly gallery."

Hmmm . . . hey, Slim, is there an emoticon of a smiley with a couple of teeth knocked out?
