[cdr]

no thats epoxy ,havent decided on color yet,want it black but i am to pickie & since im doing body work i wouldent be happy, and it seems everybody has black,soooooo might go white & black out all crome ,black sixpack hood black rt stripe

Don't put a sixpack hood on it!!! looks good otherwise!

 

[ChargerRTguy]

The JJ1 gold must have been a popular color. My car was originally that color, but the previous owner had it painted red. Being a "BULLITT" re-creation, it's going to be black.

hood

Don't put a sixpack hood on it!!! looks good otherwise!
