You can share with AF1, I also doubt you will get the same orange. He does get his touch up paint at the hardware store.

The green you liked is not the same as Fluffys. His is more annoying.

what Franky said. What do YOU like?

BUT SINCE YOU ASKED, I'd look at the 'Big Bad' pallet that AMC had on its muscle cars. Always thought the Big Bad Blue was kind of.... ummmm..... hideous. But IMHO the Big Bad Green was da nutz

My buddy used to have a '57 Willys CJ5 that was a rootbeer brown that I always thought looked nice. Flatties always look good in either red or earth tones and they look horrible in flat black.

I didn't say paint it up like a sissy John Deere lawn tractor with a lot of yellow trim on the body.

Paint the whole thing Deere green, or slightly darker, and ONLY THE RIMS yellow.

well the willys now has front and rear tow points and a rear hoop/cage. removed the silly side steps finaly too. the only things i guess i have left to make it ready for the run is get the tires mounted and put on the jeep, paint the cage and get my tow strap and first aid kit in the jeep.


not bad for a few straight pieces of tube
