I wanted a challenger in that color!

For the life of me I can't figure out the actual datsun shades of green. I've seen some pictures from users on this site that have cars that are very bright green like yours but I go to http://www2.zhome.com:81/History/ZColorGallary/index.html and don't see anything close to that. Maybe that site is incomplete. . .?

112 i think of datsun is a tricky color so is mine too. Most of the time the 112 looks yellow until it gets dark out then it shows lime yellow. Mine is fawking lime LOL. When i photograph it though it comes up yellow looking.

112 is a very yellow green, but it does have a bit of blue. It is a green when it comes down to the wire.

I'm working on a '70 Superbee in Green-Go with a black vinyl top. It's almost Sublime, but it's just a touch darker. Both are a very eye catching and work extremely well when complimented by black accents. I love the look of the spook and black hood against the green. Very cool.

I really like the bumperless rear look. I've been debating it on my car for quite a while now, because my car does not have a rear bumper. Sort of reminds me of the BRE cars. Once you get a tip on that exhaust it will cure the carbon on the valance.

The front is a bit busy on these cars without a bumper, or at least a split bumper. I think your car would look killer with a black front bumper. I think it would clean the front end up while keeping the same feel you've got going. I really like the contrast!

i am going to make some ducting for the spook and radiator. Then i am gonna try to find a two piece bumper. Kinda surprised no one spotted the lack of mirror's :) i wanna put them on the fenders but am having a hard time drilling them LOL. Think i should wait a bit for that as the paint is about 3 weeks old. Anyone have any tips on duct work?

Does anyone know what color this is:

Not sure if that's the car of a user here. It definitely doesn't look anything like the factory colors shown on that z site. But I'm thinking that maybe avocado green or leaf green is just a really tricky color?

if i where to guess it looks like 2008 sublime green or maybe snake skin green.

I'm doing a 620 KC for the wife that is Plum Crazy with a Pistol-grip from an E-body.

The car in the link is mine and its 113 avocado. It's a new'ish paint job and really shines in the So Cal sunshine.
