    I realize from a purists point of view I may have "butchered" a classic but to each his own when it comes to what makes a wagon beautiful. thank you so much for the kind words about my big green baby!

    The colour was a 45 minute process of looking at greens, I wanted something dark and bright. What I finally chose was a 70's Porsche green, with a mild silver pearl that only shows in certain sunlight.

    Welcome Dewey. Splendid job on the wagon; it's sure not an old lady's car anymore!

    Thanks man! She passed some years ago but got to see her freshly painted, she thought it was beautiful, I had to agree. Some things you gotta leave to the pro's. Everything else I did myself.

    You took a great looking wagon and made it outstanding! You made it your own and it shows...it's a beauty! Thanks for bring your wagon here and sharing photos. Hope to see you around. :Welcome:

    45 minutes of the paint guy tapping his foot to pick this green. It's a big decision...come on dude. Thanks for the thumbs up!

    Yeah, the stack was taken down to a monoleaf, then I added a Tundra overload leaf to help steady the rearend when It's at drive height. I may end up with a four link at some point, but for now it works great.

    I thought that color looked familiar! Now that you've painted your Satellite Porsche green, you can remodel your kitchen in the same shade.

    This is from a website called Eurobad '74, which is a collection of unusual interior decor designs.

    It is a striking color on your Plymouth; you've made it a classy custom.

    My wife would just kill me! This is truly hideous. It's no wonder everyone in the 70's was stoned, I can't think of anyone who wasn't high thinking this looked good. :dance:

    Green.

    I do like the Porsche in the background however, dead match for my color. Thanks for the compliment Doug.
