the bird in primer

I finished the body work and got the whole bird done in primer today, (with the exception of the bumpers)  Here are some pics of it.  I guess now after the car show tomorrow I will be adding another scoop on the driverside. :evilgrin:  Then finish up some touch up spots that I missed, and paint it.

Green with black accents. You never see green on these cars.

I'm feeling a blue/white or blue/black scheme, but I'd have to see your design first.

Btw, that fender scoop looks really  cool!

That black/blue combo looks pretty  cool. I know no one puts green on these cars. If I had one and redid it, I would at least attempt it. Forest Green was what I was thinking, and Silver would compliment that really well. When I get a bird I plan on Forest Green, unless I already like the color lol.
