I have finaly taken the time do do the Bee right!
I would like your input as to what color to paint her? The vinyl top is going back on over the new roof.
Thanks in advance for your suggestions ;D

there are so many colors out there to choose from,it's hard to pick from just three so i voted for another combination,but i would still go black top.
 
If it is a numbers car I would go with the original color. If its not , just make yourself happy with the color. Remember its your car , dont worry what others think.
 
What color green is factory?
Spring special green is nice.
I generally don't like the dark olive, but on a 69 Bee I make an exception and think it looks quite menacing, especaily with black int and stripe.
 
My vote is whatever YOU like the best. Forget about anybody else, make it what you want, what appeals to you. Go to shows, look at other cars, see what you like. Then, just do it. It may not be easy, as a great car like yours looks good in any color. But, as they say.... suit yourself ! You'll love the car that much better when you say, "Yeah... that's what I wanted... "
 
If your thinking the green, I just got Novembers issue of Mopar Muscle Mag... On page 56 they did a story on a guy with a 70 Cuda, Maybe its the white top and stripe down the side but i don't think ive ever seen a green that eye popping good. If you get the chance to get Novembers issue take a look at that one. There is so many colors to choose from its hard to decide, i seen one thats a vitamin c base coat/clear that was great looking but couldn't find the picture again, that was pretty! Almost like looking at the sun it was so brilliant..
 
Not sure what green it was originally, but I love F8 and F6 shades on Bees.
 
You've gone this far to make it the way you want it- my vote would be pick the combo you like best (unless it's a 1 of 1 car or uniquely optioned and no plans to actually drive it)- the pride and satisfaction will shine through for years to come. My .02
 
I painted my Cuda a newish F**D colour...naughty i know, but it looks amazing and i have been told countless times what a lovely colour.
Unless its a real rare one which mine isnt, do it what colour you like
Amalfi Blue / white billboards, see what you think

CharlieB,
Beautiful combo !!

The polished rims and the chrome trim on the body highlight the green.

Looks almost like a B-Body Bullit car.
 
I know this is a RR but I think this color looks good on it. Ron

Thanks for the picture ;D
I keep going back and looking at it over and over. I do have the original power bulge hood. Nice combination.
Thx

That color combo with the Torq wheels just plainly looks MEAN.
Remember a friend in High school had one like that one.
