So, yellow calipers?

halo777

I considered yellow for the calipers, but I don't really want to throw another bright color in the mix. The bright green is already a lot to take in on its own.

I dont usualy like matchy matchy, but in this case I'll probably just do the calipers the same lizard green. It should look something like this with the black wheels



As opposed to yellow. ..

”I considered yellow for the calipers, but I don't really want to throw another bright color in the mix. The bright green is already a lot to take in on its own.”

Have you considered a bronze or gold caliper with the green? The car is looking pretty good!

halo777

actually, I did.... but after seeing what gold wheels look like on a lizard green car, I ruled that



if I do anything other then matching the calipers to the body, would probably go with gunmetal or black as to not clash or compete with the green

Hmmm, gunmetal would look good. And hard to go wrong with good old gloss black, and could do green stencil on the black.

As a small touch I would paint the lower portion of the mirror green as well. While it may be a small touch, I think it would be nice.

Is that the Misha ducktail? I also chose it over the Getty Design.

If you weren't to go 'lizard' my vote would also be black. Anything else would, imho, be a distraction.

And it is an absolutely beautiful build...thanks for allowing some of us to live vicariously through your thread!!

I vote for green matching calipers as well! Would get a bit distracting otherwise.

Actually, its a custom ducktail decklid.

Any updates?

halo777

Yes, was just up at the shop today. Roll cage is in and custom fender liners completed up front for the Cargraphic fenders.

The front tires I got run really large, so they wouldnt fit. Temporarily threw on some winter wheels up front for now, while I order in new tires.

The wider front fenders are looking really good in person. The blend perfectly into the body. From some angles you wouldnt even notice the difference from stock. But a comparison below with the same wheels (245/35/19 19x8 et45) show how much wider they are. According to Cargraphic they can fit up to a 285/30/19 et40
