Got a few shot from the front. The rear tire is sitting how I want it at ride height, the front needs to be stuffed another inch but it's bottomed. I'll be getting 2 inch drop spindles for the front. Here's the mess of the garage it's in.

Silver, the green looks like a JD lawn maintenace vehicle ............... Just a note on silver, painters tell me it is a difficult color to apply, prone to "tiger stripes". Those blacked out wheels and silver would be hard to beat...............

I agree with Mike. That green would really stand out on a sunny day!

I think the silver and black would look slick yet kind of blend in. The green will be very bright and stand out a lot.
I'm having Dustin at Design graphics design my sticker for the front. I'll see if he can come up with a preview with both colors swapped..... Green main color with the silver as the sticker design I want and then one with silver as the main and green as the designed portion on the front of the car.
Thanks for your guys opinions and keep them coming.
Tim

I'm sure you already know what they say about opinion's. Who care's what everybody else thinks. It's your car, paint it whatever color you want. Color choice on a car is a very personal thing. It took me over a year to finally decide on my car.
But since your asking: Out of these two choices: I lean towards green, but the silver isn't too bad either.

When I finally knew what basic color I wanted, I went to Hitech Auto Paint, and looked at color books. Then I bought very small quantities of several variations of the color I liked. I then asked the painter to squirt them onto scrap sheetmetal. So I ended up with a few samples, once we narrowed it down to the final color, he painted a car hood and he even let me tell him how dark I wanted it. (Candy gets darker with the number of strokes) This is the best way Devin and Tim! If your painter wont do this,find another one. Cause all those little paint color cards will look totally different in natural sunlight, and on the car!!! And I do meen totally different!! Here is the plug: A-1 Auto Body-868-8839 (you knew it was coming ;D)

Thanks for the advice about the paint application effecting the color. My father is going to spray the car for me, his 30 years of experience will make it look way better than I could.
I like the green so far just because it stands out a lot and not many other cars have that green.

So not much of an update other than more parts are on the way.
Getting the new SV1 carb from Patrick at Pro Systems Racing Carbs. Should run pretty good. Also have a Fab 9 coming for the rear axle. I'm getting this from Kevin at Dutchman Axles, with their setup I'm able to narrow the rear up to 4 inch's and still use factory suspension. I'm only going 3 1/8 narrower.
Pictures to follow once parts start showing up.
