Think wider wheels like the magazine may work better, not 100 % sure of green but the chrome in the mag and green go well

Black's the safe option isn't it. It doesn't offend anyone. As soon as you add any other colour it's gonna divide opinions. It really annoys me when visitors to the 'shop refer to it as a ratrod -it's not a rat, it's just not finished yet! I don't ever see it as a show winner, but I want it to be tidy & presentable. Some people are bound to think the green's too .."pretty" for a hotrod & they should be mean n moody -& black, but this green was an original Ford Pop colour & we've been trying to build the truck in a way that's sympathetic to the original car. It'd be nice if non auto people think it left the factory as a truck, rather than seeing it as a car that's been butchered. I think the colour will help that.
Keeping the interior all black will make it easier to change the exterior colour if we ever want to. Here's an original Pop.

I'll mention that to Loony Mike. Does paint keep or go off?
Still got that Landrover windscreen? I was looking at brand new ones on Ebay the other day. Someone's selling them for 50 quid -they're green tinted!

This is cool, but the wrong era. 60s show rod. We're building 50s style -much plainer & simpler.
